    Pleasantly surprised

    I scored tickets last night to the Toronto premiere and I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much. It looked like another crappy MMA movie, but it was anything but that. After watching the trailer I expected there to be a lot more action, but I wasn't disappointed by it. I'd also consider the film more of a drama, as most of the fighting is left for the final act. When there is action, though, it's extremely violent and realistic. People seemed to be on the edge of their seats and I felt every punch.

    The film had a lot of funny moments, and the acting was pretty solid throughout. The biggest surprise was UFC Fighter Krzysztof Soszynsy as the villain, Dominic. He stole every scene he was in, and he played the part well. He really came off as a menacing bad guy that you just wanted to see die. It was great to see Michael Biehn playing a Mr. Miyagi and I really bought into the fact that he knew how to kick serious ass as a Karate Instructor. There's also a few references to the original Karate Kid, and it definitely helps that Martin Kove made an appearance.

    MMA Fans may be a bit disappointed that Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida don't have a lot of screen time, but I'll tell you their scenes were hands down the best part of the film. I don't want to give it away, but the entire audience loved it and it was actually quiet comedic.

    I will say there were weak elements with some of the editing and some of the acting was shoddy at times, but it didn't take you out of it too much. The movie starts off a bit slow, but it really ramps up in the third act when the main character starts training for the tournament.

    Overall, I think people will be pretty surprised that there's a lot more depth to this film than your typical fight movie. Also considering this was done on a small budget, they really made it look sharp. It's definitely worth seeing when it comes out.

    David vs Goliath

    Again and again... David vs Goliath stuff! I remember Karate Kid trilogy - Ralph was such a lamer... Real "Karate guys" were taking him apart (spanking his ass) but some lucky punch, disqualifications via illegal punches made him a hero/winner, even thou he was a pitiful wax-in, was-out guy (LAMER)...

    I am an UFC fan, and I (think) I know (watched every UFC spectacle + TUF 01-19 steel going) if there is any chance for a guy weighing (i don't know for the fact)... like 135 pounds to take over that BEAST.. The Polish Experiment - 205 (when fit) - Krzysztof Soszynski! That one arm choke near the end... guys... get real... Someone should talk to Cody and tell him to use "telephone move" to protect... Look at the UFC 173!... Btw... he was 99% off due to choke, but he was able to move out of going asleep!... Get real! Btw... he had just 6 week to train... In a real world - even his temp coaches - Anderson Silva & Lyoto Machida could'n help him. The difference in muscle mass and experience is just enormous! Watchable, but not real - Cody... do not co-produce movies you're in! (as Stallone, Schwarzenegger... etc!)

    Batman Meets The Karate Kid

    This film is an MMA lover's wet dream. There are plenty of great fights, badass action sequences, and some cool cinematography to make it look even better. It was great to see Michael Biehn in this too, as it's been a while since he's been in anything. He plays a washed up Karate coach who has to train the main character. It was a lot of fun to see him on screen.

    Personally I'm not a fan UFC, but I still enjoyed it. I found it to actually be a lot better than it should have been. The script may have been basically written entirely in clichés, and it was predictable beyond belief, however, I couldn't help but enjoy the hell out of it. It's simply a badass film, and for that it's really enjoyable. The action scenes were exciting and tense, the sappy scenes never felt overly sappy, basically I just found it to be a perfectly enjoyable movie. It's basically Batman meets The Karate Kid in story line. The performances are pretty meh, but forgivable, as most of the actors aren't really actors. The editing and camera work are awesome, they compliment the movie perfectly. For a film like this, I actually enjoyed watching it, and for this film's target audience, that's all that's really needed. It's really fun, and has a lot of cool visuals and editing. Just don't go into it overthinking anything. If you love MMA, you'll love this movie.

    Enjoyable well done film that was just a little long,but over all a good story and characters!

    Tapped Out has said to been to be a new take on the Karate Kid type story but with a MMA twist. And Tapped Out was actually pretty enjoyable. Tapped Out has good acting from Cody Hackman, Michael Biehn, and Krzysztof Soszynski. The film was just a little long even though it was quite fun with its awesome and gripping action but also had good characters. The story follows Michael Shaw from when his parents getting carjacked and murdered until he seeks revenge and wants to fight the man that killed his parents. Tapped Out also had some beautiful action and landscape shots. Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida also have a very cool cameo.The characters where well developed and main character Michael has an interesting love interest. The film also has some hilarious jokes here and there. unlike lots of recent films Tapped Out uses practical effects which are always awesome. The film has a great amount of action, and good dialog. The movie has many different genres romance, drama, action and comedy! I would definitely recommend Tapped out!

    Top 3 MMA Movies yet!

    I was expecting less, however, I'm glad I took the Chance on watching Tapped Out! I thought for sure it was going to be a corny Hector Echavarria movie but this film proved me wrong. Acting was decent, cameos were great and fight scenes were shot very well! I can see how MMA fans might want more fighting in the movie, the major action does not start until half way in. However the lack of action is made up for an intriguing story (Batman meets Karate Kid). I appreciated the references to the original karate kid. Michael Biehn who plays Reggie did a great job portraying the Miyagi element, and he was pretty comical at times. Anderson Silva seemed to be comfortable on screen and was not over the top. I wish we got to see more of him!' Overall I think this movie has what it takes to offer all audiences entertainment.
