This movie deserves more recognition

Rating: 9/10 (22 March 2015)

I was really fortunate to watch this movie today. I have heard of this movie but was not a big fan of Tom Hardy but somehow I decided to watch it. I consider this as one of the best sports movie ever made. The film started slow to establish the characters in our mind but second half was really fast. I was crying in last few scenes and I have to really say that the film had its moments. My misconceptions about Tom Hardy got changed and I thoroughly enjoyed watching Nick Nolte,Joel Edgerton and Frank Grillo. MMA fight choreography was really original,some scenes I was so worried by the beating Brendon was receiving during the fight,I forgot that its just a movie. The movie will stay with you for long and has got some great emotional scenes which anyone can relate too which will be rare in sports movies. I recommend this film to all the people who love films..
