Best Underdog Movie since Rocky

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2013)

I ran across this movie while looking at movies rated 8.0 or higher by IMDb users. I have had very good luck with this system and I am now running out of titles. Despite the lack of big name stars the acting in this movie was Very Good. Both of the brothers and Nick Nolte does an excellent job portraying the recovering alcoholic father. Most of best scenes that define this movie occur in interactions between the Nolte and his sons, (always 1 at a time). The plot is predictable but still manages to hold your attention even though pretty sure how things will turn out. The fight scenes are INCREDIBLE they are almost painful to watch. I ma not big fan of MMA but I have watched a few matches and it's my opinion that this movie shows very well the brutality that takes place in these fights. If you liked "The Fighter" or "Rocky" you will almost certainly find this an entertaining movie.
