Never Back Down
A MMA take on The Karate Kid, which sees a teen encounter issues with the local bully and therefore takes up MMA training to defeat him in a (Not so) underground tournament. Very enjoyable and the tournament does have a twist at the end (Which I kinda appreciate).
Rat Race
A madcap modern take on The Cannonball Run which sees random people go on a chase to be the 1st to a locker that contains 2 million dollars. It's silly, stupid and ludicrous (As in nobody could destroy a Airport Radar and get away with it or steal a Land Speed Car) but it's funny, enjoyable and perfect for a hot day if you don't want a film that you have to concentrate on.
Creed II
The Sons of Creed and Drago do battle for the Heavyweight Championship of the World. A quality edition to The Rocky Saga with a career best performance from Dolph Lundgren. It has also has some nice Easter Eggs for fans. It will be interesting to see how Creed III handles being it's own entity with the characters it's established without the Rocky characters.
