“Submission” (** out of four) was a trite melodrama about a battle-scarred marine (Scott Pryor) who returns back home with various psychological and physical disabilities but decides to risk all by returning to the world of mixed martial-arts and he reignites a feud with a villainous former opponent. Not bad, with some interesting explorations of the multitude of complications that affect soldiers when they return home, but film covers territory covered in many prior films more effectively. One of those such films is “Best Of The Best” and to prove it- the star of that film (Eric Roberts) re-appears here as Pryor’s trainer.
