review:

MMA Fighter Nick Davis finds himself in the middle of a bank robbery. When his heroic attempt to stop it goes badly, he finds himself on the run. With a couple cops hot on his trail, he heads out of the country. With his fighting skills, he finds himself inside a shadowy world of fighting. Meanwhile, back home, Nick's girlfriend and his little sister work to clear his name.



It's kind of a cross between the movies Bloodsport and The Fugitive. Nick fights under an assumed name, and all his opponents are video game huge. Just when you think an opponent can't get larger, one comes along. In that respect, it feels like fighting video games.



It's a reboot of an older character who is basically a boxer, and it's (as stated) a fairly movie plot story. It will be interesting to see where they take it, or how long they can keep the suspense going.
