Just saw it. Though I can see what the intention was, the end result is a little too understated and mater of fact. Granted, the fight scenes are a lot more realistic than most in movies today, the impression of the film as a whole was sort of like one of those docudrama recreations you see on the InvestigationDiscovery channel. If it were a recreation of actual events, I would appreciate that dedication to realism, but as a work of fiction, it's all a little too low-key. By the way, Gina Carano's acting talent is still developing, but I can see great potential.

I can't get away with watching birds fill gangs of blokes in. It's ridiculous and fills women's heads with delusions of grandeur and then matty is forced to defend himself when they assault him, mash his scalding cheesy chips into their faces and then run all the way back to camp persued by a gang.

But because of all this, we get to watch hordes of drunk girls who think they can fight just because they've watched a few of these "Gurlpowerz" movies squaring off in a convenience store parking lot on Tru TV's show "World's Dumbest". THERE'S your real entertainment value.

By the way, Matty, what exactly do you do that females feel the need to attack you? I should probably state that a girl once perforated me with a fruit-coring knife and I was forced to strike her in self defense, so I'm not judging you, just curious.
