Synopsis
After years away from the cage, a once-feared MMA champion is pulled back in for the fight of his life when his younger brother is put in danger. Reuniting with the trainer who once made him a legend, he commits to one final showdown against the reigning title-holder — a brutal fighter determined to dismantle the ex-champ’s legacy in front of the world. Pushed to his breaking point, the contender’s stakes are simple: win, or lose everything he’s built. Starring Daniel MacPherson, Luke Hemsworth, and Oscar® winner Russell Crowe.

Moviegoers are saying
This Australian MMA drama hits like a brutal cage fight - raw, intense, and unapologetically visceral. While audiences praise Russell Crowe's commanding presence as the gruff trainer and the bone-crushing fight choreography, many note it's a familiar underdog story that prioritizes cage brutality over narrative innovation.

babe wake up, new movie that’s gonna be my new personality for the next few months just dropped.
esauApr 26, 2026I wasn’t expecting an Aussie fight film to go this hard. I would love Russell Crowe yelling at me to breathe as part of therapy.
KyloApr 12, 2026I was in a small town with nothing to do, so killed an evening by going to the nearest AMC. I was enticed by this because I liked the idea of a B-movie set in the world of MMA that featured Russell Crowe as the crusty old trainer. Boy, it sure hit the spot. If you're in the…

C KattMay 9, 2026Only watched cause of Russell Crowe. it can be viewed calmly without any surprises but before launching Beast, i knew full well that nothing will ever top Warrior (2011) as the best MMA movie. « I accepted this fight just for the money. » « Hard work is done,now comes the…
REDMay 10, 2026Visceral and unapologetically kinetic. Tyler Atkins prioritizes raw, claustrophobic intensity over narrative complexity, leaning into the sheer atmosphere of the cage rather than standard genre dialogue. While it occasionally falls back on familiar underdog tropes, the…

In this movie. MMA legend Patton James, now a commercial fisherman, is pulled back into the cage when his brother is in danger. Reuniting with his old coach Sammy, he commits to one final fight in ONE Championship against its brutal champion Xavier Grau. First off, I went…
Troy GauthierApr 13, 2026ultimately a more melodramatic, Australian riff on Kickboxer — surprised this got a theatrical release as it feels very DTV (not in a negative way, necessarily) but I’m not going to complain about watching Bren Foster fight on a huge AMC screen and the training montage set…
Justin LaLibertyMay 11, 2026Le choix est clair pour le réalisateur Tyler Atkins, on privilégie ici l’intensité et la brutalité des scènes de combat, et ce qui se passe dans la cage, au détriment du scénario. On a l’impression d’avoir déjà vu le même type de film, autour de la boxe notamment, ou pour…

6.2/10 The action/fight scenes are great but the plot is generic and predictable. I wish Russel Crowe’s character had more to do because he is mostly pissed off the entire movie. The villain was kinda boring. Not much else to say. The action was rare but when it happened it was great and the rest…

This movie had me questioning “what’s going on?” In the beginning but it had you wanting more. I would recommend this movie to watch. Had my heart pumping.
SDStephanie DeAvilaThe beginning had me thinking this was about to be an action packed movie.. WRONG. The movie was free.. so i guess that was the only win. The story made no sense, the action wasn’t enough. The same okd, same okd.
MTMarsha ThorneyGreat movie. Loved it!
