Most MMA movies are about as good as most video game movies, and I've been watching UFC since the beginning. So I came into this without much expectations and it blew me away, amazing acting by Sean and Taco, best love story since The Notebook, good cameos, and a great overall story.
Problem was... BIG SPOILERS...
So many things were over the top: million dollar payout, dude was commanding officer of his dead son who was besties with our hero, hero's wife dies, hero goes full permanently blind, after being in a coma, bad guy quits for good at 31 after one off the books underground loss (what?) , and the world didn't hear about the fight because 9/11 happened. Sheesh one thing at a time here, writers. But still a real good movie.
