What people are saying
Updated nightlyThis MMA comeback story is a mixed bag that leans positive, mostly on the back of Daniel MacPherson's committed lead performance as Patton James. The plot itself, where a fisherman returns to fight for his brother, is a tired retread for a lot of people, and the villain Xavier Grau gets no love. A few bright spots, like Russell Crowe's coach Sammy and an unexpectedly well-received dog, keep it from being a total slog, but the predictable story and rough pacing hold it back from being anything special.
