Caged underground

[kosmasp · 4/10 · 31 May 2015]

No wait, that's not it. Seriously though: Cage fighting or illegal fighting in general ... who hasn't heard about it? Does this movie add anything new? Not really. Are the action scenes that good that you will be wooed by them? I don't think so either. One thing you shouldn't do at all: watch this movie with the German dub! It's really terrible! I have a feeling they either used people who work at their office or randomly recorded people on the street! No emotion, no "acting", no anything that is helpful to the movie.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a super movie to begin with, it's decent if you're willing to see the low budget, oversee some over acting, the clichés, dumb dialog and plot holes as big as they get ... but the dubbing lowers it to a whole different level. So the verdict for the dubbed version would be a 1/10. As it is, I acknowledge the low budget and some of the ideas they were trying to get across.

Waste of time!

Let me say first of all, that if what I am about to write is considered a spoiler, you should thank me as it may keep you from wasting your time on watching this film.

I saw this title at my local library and being a fan of cage fighting, I checked it out. First problem, it's in Spanish. It doesn't say it's a Spanish speaking film and that right there would have helped immensely! It doesn't translate well at all and is a distracting factor in trying to get anything out of the film. Second problem,the fight scenes are a joke. Nothing realistic about any of the fight scenes, the people fighting or for that matter, the people acting. Totally forced, nothing authentic about the acting as well.

So, to conclude, my rating says it all. It was awful!

A fun look at underground fighting

"Cage Fight" follows Guerrero, an illegal immigrant from Mexico who crosses the border in the trunk of the car looking for his family. (He was deported without them knowing)After he arrives the corrupt crime lord Santoro gets him to fight in underground fights for him. He wins and Santoro selects him to fight in a Cage Fight. Guerrero agrees, but only so he can win enough money to find his family. The film is fun and reminded me of the Van Damme movie "Bloodsport" The action moves quickly and I found myself caring about Guerrero. There are twists that happen and characters are not what they appear. The fight scenes are well executed and all and all "Cage Fight" is a fun movie perfect for a Friday night!

Good fight film, good story

[samsmom0407 · 9/10 · 15 November 2013]

Good cage fighting film. The fight scenes are good. The story makes sense and is believable. No romance, just a guy (Guerrero) trying to find his family after being smuggled back into the U.S. from Mexico. He has to fight to earn money to find his family. The guys who basically own him are running illegal cage fights. They take advantage of the fact that he has no money and is desperately looking for his family. They promise him they will help with the search and pay him very well for his fights. Although Guerrero does not know this, basically if he doesn't win they will kill him. They are corrupt and murderers. This film did a good job keeping my interest to see if he would win, how bad he was going to get beat up along the way and if he would find his family. There is a twist at the end of the movie too.

The Underground World of Cage Fighting

[Jjax889 · 9/10 · 14 November 2013]

"Cage Fight" is about the underground world of cage fighting and the people who get caught up in it. The movie centers around rivals who choose fighters to compete, and the tactics (oftentimes dirty) they use to win. Within this world are the fighters, who are often undocumented workers, who get forced into these intense competitions. The central character of this movie, Guerrero, is one of these. He comes across the border in the trunk of a car looking for work, and looking for his family. The head boss Santoro sees that he can fight and forces Guerrero to fight for him in the upcoming Cage Fight. Will Guerrero fight? Will he leave and seek out his family? Will he survive? These are all questions that are set up by the plot in this entertaining MMA based film. I found myself hooked from start to finish and thoroughly entertained!

Underground cage fighting will never be the same

When Guerrero, a former champion wrestler, and kick boxer sneaks his way into the United States, an organized crime gang seeks to use his unique talents to their advantage. Will he fight in this underground mixed martial arts tournament against his better judgment in order to find his family? This film is a wild, Spanish language ride full of fight scenes, suspense, romance and a dash of comedy. It also deals with the issues facing many illegal immigrants who are often exploited for the gains of other people. If you are a fan of action movies, martial arts, or fight movies, this one is for you. Another fun, entertaining film brought to you by Art Camacho.

Fun, and more fun

[Ackermana-675-630566 · 9/10 · 24 November 2013]

If you are looking for a serious, dramatic, Bourne style action flick, watch something else. If however, you want to watch a fun, entertaining, Spanish language action flick written by the legendary Art Camacho watch this now! When Guerrero illegal crosses from Mexico into the United States, he is quickly noticed by a group of gangsters. They are interested in exploiting his skills to make some money. Fortunately for these gangsters, Guerrero is in need of some help, and if he cooperates with them they will help him get what he needs. Awesome fight scenes, fun action sequences and an interesting cast make for a very fun movie. Watch this for a great time, full of good action and laughs.

Fun Fight Flick

[FreeAveryJack · 22 November 2013]

This flick was straight up awesome. My dudes and I rolled a swisher and straight rolled laughing at this. Big ass Mexican dudes beating the stuffing out of each other is always good. Guerrero is trying to get back to his family you know, and his massive muscle power and fighting skills will help him get him there somehow. These gangster dudes for sure want to use him to make money, so they promise to get him to his baby, and baby momma. Dude straight beast-modes several guys in khakis and wife beaters, for touching random dimes, and several other reasons. Will he get to see his family after committing several felonies, and possible murders? Watch and found out for yourself man. Seriously watch it this is a fun movie with some great MMA inspired fight scenes.
