I honestly do not understand how this movie could pass me by almost unnoticed, until I followed a recommendation from a friend.
This is the best fight movie I have ever seen. Period.
It's the whole package: 3 incredible male leads - Joel Edgerton, Tom Hardy and Nick Nolte, and each of them in the role of their lives. And boy have they trained up for this one. It might not stand closer scrutiny from MMA experts, but it sure captures the UFC atmosphere of such an event, and the way these guys are going at it looks nothing but real.
But in the end it's the story line that brings it home. It is so absolutely gripping and emotional, I was balling my eyes out when the credits rolled across the screen. If you're missing this movie, then you cannot be helped.
