EFC

EFC was actually much better than I expected it to be. The opening fight sequence was very artistic. The movie created a chaotic scene with classical music set in backdrop. The first act felt a bit clumsy largely because the story begins progressing very quickly but the movie seemed to find its footing by the time it hit the second act. EFC is about a struggling women's MMA promotion with limited money trying to go mainstream and hit it big. The story mimics UFC in the 90's when the company was a rag tag fight promotion but eventually went mainstream. EFC delivers some very real and very authentic looking fight scenes. Since the actual fights and their outcome are weaved into the storyline it was hard to predict who would win in any fight sequence. At first glance this movie looks as if it's going to be your typical fight movie with a tale of redemption but the story takes a twist, it actually ends up being much more than that and the characters end up fighting for the future of the sport of women's MMA. The real fight was for something bigger than any character. The performance of the actors and the direction was solid. In the second act John David has to deliver some bad news to Frank the movie villain in a strip club. Oh yes they went there in this women's mma movie but the performance in the scene made the hairs on my skin stand up but overall , EFC is definitely a surprise entry into the sport drama movie arena.

I had mixed feelings about "EFC. The movie is a well-intentioned sports drama that attempts to shed light on the world of women's mixed martial arts. The film follows reigning MMA champion Cassidy Jones.

The movie is a visually engaging and it explores the emotional and physical struggles experienced by its female leads as they navigate the male-dominated world of professional MMA. Karlee Rose offers up a strong performance as Cassidy Jones, capturing the grit and determination of her character as she faces strong resistance from her sister Scarlet. The rest of the ensemble cast matches her intensity in the movie.

While the film's fight scenes are expertly choreographed and provide a glimpse into the high-stakes world of MMA, "EFC" falls short in its exploration of the characters' complexities. The narrative often feels shallow and predictable, failing to delve into the depths of the protagonists' personal struggles and motivations.

Despite its shortcomings, "EFC" remains a visually engaging and well-acted sports drama that highlights the unique challenges faced by women in professional sports. Fans of mixed martial arts and strong female leads may find aspects of the film to appreciate, but its predictable storyline and lack of character depth prevent it from reaching its full potential.
