Ex-UFC Champ Frank Mir is in the film! This is getting better and better!
Why is it getting better when more mma and ufc fighters get involved? I myself fear that with more non-professional and unexperienced actors the quality of the film will take a turn for the worse.
And it also doesn't have to mean the fights will get better. Movie fighting is very different from real fighting.
Well, the dude is a Kempo Karate black belt and a fantastic grappler and a very intelligent person on top of that so I have no doubt that he will look great on the screen. Also there are many cases of MMA fighters looking fantastic on the screen because of their knowledge of the real application on the moves and also their incredible durability- you need to look no further than the fight between Scott Adkins and Andrei Arlovski in UniSolay of the Reckoning and not to forget a bunch of scenes in Expendables (first part had more MMA fighters than actors in it xD). Also on the pragmatic side of things involvement of MMA fighters guaranties a boost of interest among the young demographic and means more DVD/BluRay sales- hell there is a whole market of action films based only on involvement of MMA fighters! So it's win/ win situation in my eyes.

According to Lauro Chartrand Bren Foster is playing Roman Hurst so I guess either Anderson Silva isnt in it or he s playing a small role
just doing some searcing online and their are at least 4 people in the film connected to MMA so seagal has been using his infulence to get maybe better opponents for him in this film
Bren Foster could well be another Scott Adkins(he started in a TV soap like Bren) and maybe in 3-4 years Foster could be headline his own movies
he showed promise in MC thats for sure
from what i know about the film so far it could be Seagals best STV fil both action and Prodcution quality wise
Lauro Chartrand:
Day 12 on Force Of Execution, here we go with the opening fight scene of the movie. A knife fight with Steven Seagal, it won't be pretty!
About Danny Trejo - He plays the character of Oso, an ex-con turned cook, with a few tricks up his sleeve!
Sweet, a knife fight with Seagal
Martin E. Andaloza is someone who works on the set. He posted some pictures on his facebook:

His friend is the 2nd stunt double for Steven Seagal. Andaloza has to say this:
Martin E. Andazola: That's my friend J.D. He was the second Body Double for Steven. I waved at Steven, when he left the set yesterday. He only works three hours a day...
