Dont get the logic here with some of you guys

..........You watch a proper trained female mixed martial artist in a film where the plot mentions she is going to try and get pay back on the men who set her up, AND THEN you still watch it lol, and then moan about how no women EVER in the history of the world could beat up any male EVER.

And we are not talking about any random female on the street here are we, no we are talking in the film a trained killer lol, just move on and dont bother to watch to be honest, then you will not cry about it. The same could be said about any film where one male action hero, no matter how big he is can walk in a gang hide out, or bar etc and do in 10-30 men as big as him with out being ripped apart.

I agree. Have always liked this film.

It has at least a half way interesting plot that you want to get to the bottom of, an array of good actors and realistic martial arts action and moves which you get to see, because of the non-choppiness of the editing. Gina Carano made for a realistic heroine, who wonder of wonders, actually seems to get hurt occasionally as well.

Interesting that that it appears much better regarded by the critics than the public.

I think the point of many of these beercan cowboys is, that there are women now that easily could kick their ass. Now they don't need watch out for bastard men, but also bastard women. It frightens them ,D

"Why oh why is the world changing?" Laments of the weak.

The first scene in the diner was quite revealing. Aaron (Tatum) surprised her with hot coffe, hit her with a mug, kicked her and hit her in the neck. Everybody else would be out. But she fought back, but clearly lost against his physique.

The only reason she won was, that the little guy hit him and the waitress trashed a coffee can over his head. Then she shot him in the arm. So, the first fight scene she clearly loses to a guy who even didn't play fair, just to be saved by two others.

Besides the guy in her dads house bathroom, nobody was in her class. Everybody thought she is a girl and you can off her quickly. That was their wrong assumption.
