I Really liked it, I thought it would be poorly done straight to dvd type of movie but I’m so glad I watched it Ving Rhames is the man
Pretty awesome little action exploitation flick. Plot's not very original, but it's great fun.
Wow, Ian's role was just really well performed as psycho, loved this movie . . . :O
"Look at you, Joshua! You're a warrior, gladiator. Men like you don't die in your beds, they fall on the field. They give the crowd a glorious death."
Really liked the idea of the Tournament going in but felt a bit bummed out of how average it is. The "twist" isn't a twist at all and Scott Adkins died too soon.
Still it is somewhat enjoyable and it is always entertaining to see heads explode and the did a decent job on the gore. Way more bloody then I thought it would be.
However I do wish the priest played by Robert Carlyle would've just been slain.

For what it is, it's extremely watchable. A selection of stars all thrown together in a B-movie.
Plotwise, think Battle Royale. Action, think Expendables. Nothing too complicated and some good turns by actors playing against type.
I'm a fan of the seemingly ageless Kelly Hu so this was far from a difficult watch.
