Simple movie caters to simple fight fans

Rating: 5/10 (26 February 2017)

I can't believe all the good reviews of this movie. Everyone seems to love the performances. They were good I guess. Nothing to really write home about. What about the story itself? It's boring. There's barely anything here that you haven't seen elsewhere. It all seems so generic right down to the aesthetics. Even when I first read the script I thought it was boring and generic. It wasn't even written that well. But yes, this is Hollywood, let's just replace boxing with MMA. And now it's on the IMDb top 250!? Is this some kind of a joke. There are many movies more deserving to be on the list than this. This is a simple movie that caters to simple MMA fans and I guess it won them over.
