CriticsCritics: 30
AudienceAudience: 6.4

After moving to a new city, an angry teenager is drawn into an underground MMA fight scene and publicly humiliated by a skilled rival. Under the guidance of a disciplined mentor, he trains to control his temper, improve his fighting, and face the conflict threatening his new life.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like motivational underdog stories, intense martial arts, and straightforward teen drama; Not for you if you want originality, subtle characters, or a realistic take on fighting.
