“Mojave Diamonds” (**1/2 out of four) was a fast-paced if overbaked action thriller about a former MMA fighter (Donald Cerrone) and his family who must spring back into action when a dangerous mob boss (Quentin Jackson) kidnaps some of their family members leading to all Hell breaking loose along the Texas and Mexico border. Throwback to ’80’s action fare is packed with enough hand-to-hand combat and car chases to give action fans their money’s worth although it veers off the ramp into too much amorality and ugliness after a while. Film features 3 UFC heavyweights with Cerrone, Jackson, and Chael Sonnen.
