    Slow moving movie for the first half of the movie. Overall good story and acting but it took quite awhile to actually get into the movie. We almost shut it off. Once the movie got started it was a very good movie regarding family rivalry that had gone on since they were young, culminating in the ring. The fight scenes were very realistic and the ending was great.

    Surprisingly good. Great back drop story and far more than just an MMA movie. Good date movie.
