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.

Moviegoers are saying
This Australian MMA drama starring Russell Crowe delivers exactly what it promises - a formulaic but skillfully executed 'Rocky' clone that somehow works despite its predictability. While audiences consistently praise the brutal, heart-pounding fight choreography and Crowe's scene-chewing performance as the gruff trainer, many note the film's overlong runtime and by-the-numbers redemption story.
