Cheap

Rating: 5/10 (21 October 2018)

First comment on the community rating above 8: these must be MMA fans!
The movie in itself could be resumed to 10 minutes screening and would wipe out the catastrophic caricature of the players, all of them.
Nick Nolte stopped drinking for 1,000 days but of course gets back to it. His air of beaten dog is just how he looks, no need to perform.
Joel Edgerton is a professor of physics but also a mixed martial art fighter (this is to show that MMA is not only populated by brawling beasts).
Tom Hardy is the brute with a lot of excuses to cover his nihilism.
The rest of the crew is just there to try to make the fights exciting and make you jump out of your chair.
In a single word: pathetic.
