Dear bloggie,



An rather awesome movie in my opinion. The story was okay, but the MMA fight scene is highly entertaining.

Brendan, a physics teacher that is forced to return to the cage to compete in MMA competition "Sparta" to save his family from bankruptcy.

Tommy, a ex marine that enters the "Sparta" competition for the $$$ to aid his RIP marine "brother" family.

Paddy, a trainer whom's alcoholism problem leaded to his shattered family relationship.

So here comes the complex part of the story... Paddy is the father of Brendan and Tommy. Each has a forgiveness issue... Paddy from his 2 sons, Brendan from his younger brother Tommy and Tommy from himself... Half of the movie focuses on the these 3 characters with their estranged relationship. Their inability to forgive is perhaps the part which builds the drama element across the movie. The other half, on the "Sparta" competition where we get some awesome MMA fights. We even have a guest appearance from Kurt Angle!

It boils down to 2 brothers, settling their differences in the cage... Fist and body... Sometimes when words fails, the physical body is a amazing way to communicate...
