“A Violent Man” (*1/2 out of four) was a seedy, unpleasant story about a small-time MMA fighter (Thomas Q. Jones) who finds himself in a fight for his life and on the run when a girl (Denise Richards) he meets for a one night stand turns up dead. Jones’ character is so off-putting and unlikeable at times that it’s hard to care what becomes of him and as a result it’s hard to care about the movie itself. MMA fans would best watch “Kingdom” or “JRE” re-runs instead.
