Sound MMA flick

Rating: 9/10 (9 May 2018)

I did not care for the bullying, especially early on in the movie. However, it served as a catalyst and focal point for the main character who needed to learn some restraint and self-discipline. What better tool to help him do this than the mixed martial arts.
The guy who played the mentor role was key in helping his protégé become a more skillful and technically sound fighter.
This movie is about deciding upon a specific purpose or goal. It's also ultimately about giving and receiving support, that's if you're lucky enough to find the right people. But first, you must believe in yourself no matter how many roadblocks you face. And most of all, Never Back Down, as the film suggests.
