The film

MMA legend Patton James, now a commercial fisherman, is pulled back into the cage when his brother is in danger. Reuniting with his old coach Sammy, he commits to one final fight in one championship against the brutal champion Xavier Grau.

The Real Review

It's a pretty even split on this MMA comeback story, with the biggest laughs coming from a character named Beast that many found confusing. Daniel MacPherson's lead performance as fisherman-turned-fighter Patton James is a solid highlight, but the story itself, about him fighting champion Xavier Grau to save his brother, gets called predictable and thin. The film's main point of conversation is the "Beast" plot element, which landed poorly and left a lot of people scratching their heads.
