Great story, acting

Rating: 6/10 (18 February 2020)

Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton play brothers who, after a movie-long build-up of their two individual lives face off for the championship and purse of the MMA "superbowl," Sparta. The two brothers have a chip on their respective shoulders on account of their drunk of a father, Nick Nolte. That serves to give them hard, gruff, life-long resentment that translates into the ring for exciting, breath-halting fights. All the performances are topnotch.
