What could have been another corny fight themed movie , turn quite compelling and sensitive because of the actors performances, A world famous MMA fighter with a extreme ego and lifestyle trains his teenage son to follow in his footsteps, but his abusive ways towards previous life gets in the way of progress, his former family suffered and continue to pick up the pieces and takes it's toll on his son, a altercation gets leaked from a family event, causes a rift between father and son, it's turns into a big MMA event pitting father against son, the battle turns into two individuals that have to battle their personal demons in the public and in the ring, the fight scenes were well put together , but the quiet moments between the cast and their interactions make this movie interesting and more watchable, you root for the son to mature and follow his own dream and guide his life in a more stable way, you applaud him also for being a loving brother to his special needs brother and loyal son to his mother and help her keep their lives from falling apart, his father is a monster , person who soul is tormented by abuse and all the success in the world, don't cure that , the conclusion of the film that did not have a real resolution, and that to me was the only real problem, I had with this film, overall watchable movie that touches on a real sensitive issue of domestic violence from a different point of view.
