worth watching

Rating: 9/10 (30 April 2014)

Thoroughly enjoyed this film, the acting was brilliant from the whole cast, it was raw and heartfelt. Although a predictable end scenario its still a very enjoyable watch. Its been described as a modern day rocky, I would slightly agree, minus the cheese! The training and fight scenes were great and as a BJJ and boxing practitioner I enjoyed watching these bits in the film and it does leave you pumped to go and train! If you buy the DVD there's also some great behind the scenes footage from the film and the story behind the 'tapout' brand. The accents were brilliant from both Tom Hardy (who's British) and Joel Edgerton (oz). Both portrayed convincing American accents. Nick Noltes performance was also brilliant in this. The film also features some known faces from the UFC. All in all I highly recommend watching this. A 10\10 for performances and a 9\10 for the story itself.
