Okay, well I had never imagined that Samuel L. Jackson would be a movie such as this, but here was. And the reason for why he was, I cannot even begin to fathom. But this 2011 movie was a swing and a wide miss, a stinker if you will.The abomination that is supposed to resemble a storyline was so shallow and pointless that it hardly even mattered. A guy who loses his wife and unborn son in accident is kidnapped and brought in to fight in an online death game, where he fight against overwhelming odds.The storyline was so pointless and stupid that the only thing keeping the movie anywhere near afloat is the fight scenes and the overall stupidity of it all as it becomes a farce. And everything is so predictable that even a blind man sees it coming a mile away.As for the acting in the movie, well let's just say don't get your hopes up too high. The actors and actresses had very little to work with in "Arena", and it reflected on the overall movie.I bought this movie because Samuel L. Jackson was in it, but I was sorely disappointed. And I must say that this was a blemish on his track record of movies.In my opinion then I would suggest that you give this 2011 movie a wide berth and pass on it, because it is utterly mindless and not particularly entertaining in any sense.

What is wrong with racist whore Sam Jackson that he is in virtually every movie and TV commercial out there?Does he really need the money?Are those dumb beanies he wears expensive?The guy just cares about quantity, not quality.This movie is simply horrible.There is not one frame that is interesting.As usual Jackson walks thru his role with his boring signature line delivery.Aren't we over this excuse for acting already?I wish I could give this bomb a zero.

Soon after David's wife dies in a car accident he retreats to Mexico and he spends his time drowning his sorrow in bars. A woman witnesses his fighting skills and "takes" him to a world where he must fight to stay alive. He reaches to know the man in charge over there and makes a deal with him in so if he will win ten fights in a row it will be released. His only condition is that in the last fight his opponent to be "the executioner". the man that comes and cuts off the loser's head. Milla is his only friend over there, providing him food and takes care of his wounds after a battle. But will he survive all ten matches?I truly dislike movies that promote violence, also this kind that the show can be seen by everyone in the world and the audience cheers when they see the gruesome murders. Also our hero is very easy allured in the arms of another woman and this after very soon he lost his wife. Little details makes a difference and in this case it seems that for some peoples this picture is hard to view.

Arena – TRASH IT (C) Arena is a perfect example of how bad movies can be made in Hollywood. Casting Samuel L Jackson and Kellan Lutz seemed like a good cast for an action flick but when the production is C grade the movie will turn out to be an outer trash too. Arena's story is just like Hostel and The Tournament, where the kidnapped victims are tortured on the name of pleasure for public viewing. Samuel L Jackson is doing many trashy movies lately. Kellan Lutz is all about physique, he still needs to improve a lot but defiantly he is good in kicking some A**. Nina Dobrev was wasted in very small part. Kate Winter is exotic and kind of the only actor in the movie who acted good. Overall, Arena is time passer trash, though gruesome lovers may actually quite enjoy it.
