Remo Street is a young fighter who comes from a world where nothing is easy, so when he is faced with the opportunity to train with a world class coach, he has to choose between the long hard road to honor and glory, or succumbing to a brutal future as a cage fighter for the Russian Mafia.
Alright considering that my Mother, Aunty, Cousin and other assorted family may or may not read this review at some point, I have to take this opportunity to apologize for the use of any bad language and name calling that I might resort to in this review. Now that small piece of housekeeping is out of the way I have to turn my attention at the Miami Herald is said about the movie Street that it’s “Rocky meets Bloodsport” and call bullshit of the highest order and I also have to ask was there any financial transaction that was given before you where made that quote about Street? Now granted it has been awhile since I last saw Rocky and possibly even longer since I have seen Bloodsport but even though Street is a barely passable movie to watch which I suppose is an achievement considering that none of the writers involved with this movie had any previous experience with a feature length action movie (and it should be noted that I only say that because it is the first movie that I have seen involving John Hennigan that I have not contemplated some sort of self-inflicted broccoli related torture) but to the best of my knowledge the only similarities between the three movies is that they all involve fighters. Street is to clean to even be compared Rocky and the level of underground fighting in Street is nothing compared Bloodsport. And to be brutally honest the 2011 movie Never Back Down 2: The Beatdown has more balls then this movie and a small note to Bradford May inspirational music should be used when cutting together your training montages.
