Forced To Fight Audience Reviews

KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
George Clarke Forced To Fight is another one of those underground fight flicks!Another one of those, fighter forced to fight for a family member, flicks!Another typically American MMA action drama!This time, fan favourite Gary Daniels (who has had a few stand out moments in his career) is the lead guy. The fighter with a heart, in probably his best acted role to date.Peter (Robocop) Wellar is the bad guy, and does so convincingly enough, but seems bored in his role.The drama is heavy, the fights are just okay, but Forced To Fight is worth a watch, at least the once.Lets just hope Gary gets back into the Hong Kong style of things before its too late...
Dark_Lord_Mark Maybe I am nuts here, maybe I expected very little, but this movie was better than expected.It was better than good.Dare I say almost great....yes it had some sub-par acting and the camera work was a little hazy during the fights but it was fun, fast paced, light drama, heavy action.Maybe my score was due to my low expectations...but once you know what to expect, then when it surpasses those expectations, what more can be asked? Jeff Daniels did a GREAT performance, and Peter Weller can make any script decent. All in all at least try it and enjoy it for what it is; a solid action drama.10 Stars from me....I am a fight movie fan and enjoyed the plot, nothing new but for a movie like this, it ain't a bad thing.
gavin6942 Scotty owes money to Danny G (Peter Weller). He gets beat up, and his brother (Gary Daniels) steps up to fight and earn the money... but getting in is a lot easier than getting out.There is not a whole lot about this film that makes sense. Why is the lead character (Daniels) clearly English, and yet his family is not? Why does he get so enraged as the film progresses? Why does his wife tolerate it? What the heck? Daniels is a great fighter, even at age 49. He has appeared in scores of action films and is known as a kickboxing champion. You may have recently seen him in "The Expendables" as the villain, or appearing alongside Wesley Snipes or Steve Austin in recent years. This is not his best work... not by far.
Daniel Deltondo It has been a while since UK Martial Artist Action Star Gary Daniels has headlined a movie in a starring role, but it was worth the wait. After turning in great bad guy performances in Expendables 1 (having one of the most memorable deaths courtesy of a jet Li axe kick to the head), and arch nemesis to Wesley Snipes in Game of Death & Steve Austin in Hunt to Kill, it was time for Gary to return to where he is best. The kick ass action hero bent on revenge (this time for his brother). Set in similar scenario as many bloodsport type events, much of the film is stuff you have seen before and while this could dangerously lead the film to be boring...it isn't. From the start, it is clear all the actors can actually act and Gary turns in a good American accent, father and husband who is "Forced to Fight" to protect his brother. Robocop Peter Weller is a great addition as the main villain "Danny G" who orchestrates the fights and is holding Gary's character to ransom. The story never gets boring, the fights have some great moments (a couple of shots could have chosen better angles) but overall an enjoyable Gary Daniels actioneer for a Friday or Saturday night with the boys. Or in my case with my 3 year old martial arts enthusiast daughter. It isn't the best Gary Daniels film ever, but its great to see Gary Back where he belongs - front & centre of the DVD cover, in video shops as the main star. Out on Video on Demand, Blu Ray and DVD in the US now and other parts of the world to follow.
