Combat sport films are so hard to film, Undercard struggles to find intensity in its fights until the last second. But that’s okay because at the heart of his story is redemption and second chances and when we’re focused on that the movie works best. 2026 Ranked
The movie is a little over stuffed, but Sykes takes the clichés and adds humor and an unexpected layer of pathos to the whole thing, while DP Ana M. Amortegui captures the vibrancy of Liberty City’s lively neighborhoods with a loving touch, giving the movie a lived-in touch…
