Another 'Death Race' Genre Movie

Watching this movie right now.
It follows the same type of plot that movies like "Death Race" follow, in that a fight to the death between opponents is recorded and syndicated on the web as a show.
You can bet that the plot isn't going to be all that in-depth, and will probably follow an identical structure to movies like Death Race (main character becomes a fighter in the arena, somehow escapes and kills the person making the show). But fans of violence and action should have their thirst quenched by viewing this film.
I'd rate it a 6/10

Push the envelope, watch it bend

No one would see the twist coming because there was nothing to lead up to it. It was just totally random.

I'm not surprised it's similar to death race. The writer for Arena also wrote death race 2 and 3.

That was pretty f#@king ninja.
