Carla Hay Culture Mix No one is expecting junk like Cagefighter to be high art, but the movie ... doesn't even have exciting fight scenes ... Almost everything in Cagefighter is formulaic, unimaginative, and executed like someone who's drunk-driving a bulldozer. Dec 2, 2020 Full Review Chris Salce Film Threat The film has some nice cameos from familiar faces of both the octagon and squared circle, and it has a cast that carries it just enough to the final round. Rated: 6.5/10 Oct 16, 2020 Full Review Travis Hopson Punch Drunk Critics Cagefighter really excels in capturing the friction between MMA and professional wrestling. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 13, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Bad Acting, Bad Directing there is literally not one point I could seriously say that's okay. The story does not Grab and is very cliche. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Andrew K Really really great movie this movie teach you don't ever give up always try and i love when they fight so good 👍 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/31/21 Full Review Audience Member It is not only not realistic, but may motivate non skilled "tough guys" to think they can fight MMA. MMA has real fight skills and would make a mockery of a Pro wrestler.. The moview actually got it right for a couple min of the first fight then somehow this no skilled guy learns a superman punch and out techniques a mma champ. not buying it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Gershon is the only real grit to this movie. Predictable up and down of a champion fighter (who at least looks the part) - up against a WWF wrestler coming into the cage. The slow mo sequences are painful. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The first two minutes of this movie are TERRIBLE! The protagonist beats a smaller guy to a pulp. Not only that, but the smaller guy is throwing all these kicks short, while the protagonist just kind of leans back. The small guy then lands a full on kick to the face of the protagonist, who doesn't even wince. This is followed by a straight right hand to the small guy's face. The announcers then declare this man to be the No. 1 fighter in the world! Followed by, announcing him as the new lightweight champion. NO LIGHTWEIGHT WILL EVER BE THE #1 FIGHTER IN THE WORLD!!! That's like saying Bruce Lee could dummy Brock Lesnar. Awful. Everything about this movie is so completely unbelievable in the first 2 minutes (not an exagerration, it was less than 2 minutes), that one has to settle in, ready for a comedy of errors. Unless you're a under the age of 14, or some young guy who's never been in a fight, this movie probably isn't for you. They should have called it Cagefarter. Absolutely rotten! Sidenote: Jon Moxley was great, he was the only believable character in this movie. I think when they pitched this movie, they pitched it as Rocky, but for UFC fans. They then proceeded to make the movie without understanding how people interact, or how the world actually works. This feels like something someone out of highschool would direct. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was action packed from the start. Johnathan Good was amazing in his acting skills. I would recommend this movie to all.
