What most may consider a fighting movie, is actually a heart touching story of two brothers and a father, who have been in a dispute since the death of the mother, coming together. The two brothers, Tommy and Brendan, both enter a fighting tournament to win millions. Tommy chooses his father to train him, since they have a history of training. Tommy and Brendan’s father is a recovering alcoholic former boxer and has trained both Tommy and Brendan since a young age. Other critics give this movie an 8/10, but I see it as a 10/10. It blends in action with brotherly love.

The movie has posters that describe the reason why each brother is fighting. Tommy is fighting for his brother-in-arms, who died in a war, so that he can give the prize money to the widow of his friend so she can pay her bills since she was a stay at home wife. Brendan is facing bankruptcy and foreclosure and must return to fighting from being a high school math teacher. This drastic comeback worries his wife who doesn’t support his fighting until the very end.
