Where to Watch Money Fight
- jackmeatDecember 2, 2025My quick rating - 3.9/10. Submission, err, Red Canvas or Art of Submission, released in 2009, or 2012, or, oh, forget it, all the same movie. This is an MMA action/drama movie centering around the plight of a young adult who wants to train to be a mixed martial arts star. Of course, he is in troubled times, and the movie attempts to juggle the action with the drama, but falls short on it. The tempo switching in this movie is often too random to hold the audience's attention, while debating if this is a tear-jerker or just a beat 'em up flick. The fighting sequences, at times, are very well done, and other times, just plain silly. Ernie Reyes Jr.. does a decent job acting as the main character, often being forced to shift gears from an apprehensive heavy to a sentimental person of the film quite quickly. Ving Rhames (big fan of) plodded through this movie, seemingly unconvinced of why he was there. I may have been a bit more sold on this movie had it not been for the length of it (119 minutes). By the film's finale, I just felt more or less like "get it over already," so I will. Oh, btw, in this retread, I see now the movie is called Money Fight. They just cannot pick a title for this flick, and I am guessing it is a ploy to make it seem like a different movie due to its quality.
