I had high hopes for this...

Rating: 5/10 (10 December 2011)

I am very disappointed in this and the reason is I thought it was gonna be a masterpiece. Honestly for the life of me I can not fathom how people liked this movie. Fault? the STORY! My main criticism is that the film is littered with any possible cliché you can imagine and then some, and for me it ruins the movie. The story is dragging and dragging the main characters compete one against each other for whom of the 3 lives the biggest tragedy when -think of it for a second- if they put aside their differences every one's problem will automatically get sorted out. On the positive side the fighting scenes are among the best as is the cast, and I also enjoyed the soundtrack.
Long story short, this isn't a bad movie by any measure it is just so unoriginal. The Fighter, Rocky, Cinderella man, Raging bull. Every single plot twist and every character can be found among them. A nearly wasted Saturday night. Overall 5/10
