Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
angiesws Anyone on here with a bad review has not seen Art of Submission! They had only seen the Red Canvas film that was pirated beforehand. The Art of Submission movie was well played by all actors. The fight scenes were well played by all fighters. Ernie Rays Jr. did an outstanding fight performance as well as the MMA fighters. The music was off the charts! I am looking forward to a sound track to follow. I can imagine hearing this sound track being played at many fights, wrestling matches, foot ball games etc! The music get's you pumped!The story line was real. It hit home. A great family movie. Had some great helicopter shots of Vegas!
Stephen Ray This Submission Movie is a Must See! Great actors, great fight scenes, and a great story. You will want to buy this for your library once it comes out on DVD. Grab a bunch of friends when it comes to a theater near you and don't miss it. There is also a great story behind the production of this film. Much blood, sweat, and tears have went in to making this film for us to see. Several years in the making and now it's time for you to enjoy an amazing project that will get you excited to bring others. Check out the cast if you haven't yet and I am sure you will see some popular names that you have enjoyed watching in the past.
rjhoward111 This movie is a must for anyone interested in mixed martial arts. The fight scenes between Ernie Reyes Jr. and his opponents are awesome... carefully choreographed, precisely delivered and authentic. I wanted to see more. The older audience will recognize the legendary Dan Severn and Frank Shamrock from their involvement in the mix martial arts industry. The movie has the power to inspire the youth of today to achieve their dreams and true potential when a challenge is brought forth. Both men and women will enjoy this movie. It has all the action men need while incorporating heart felt drama of a family struggling with a rebellious son. The movie ends with an emotional bonding between father and son.
imdb-valerka Because of 8.3 stars I decided to see this movie,although I didn't know the actors and the director. At first it looked like a good low-budget movie,but after half an hour I was disappointed to see that it's just a low-budget movie. The actors are not bad,but not good too - something in the middle. What I also disliked is the music - sometimes I thought it's a fantasy movie like Stardust or so. Directing is also a problem of Red Canvas: the fighting scene in the car repair shop is a joke. Only the scenes on the Red Canvas itself are fair to middling. For fighting movie fans it may be an acceptable pastime,but not for someone like me. Sorry for my English :)
