Jake, full of anger after his father's death, is just starting to find a place for himself at his new Orlando high school - until Ryan, head of an underground MMA fight club, picks Jake out as a prime opponent. After being trounced by Ryan in front of the entire school, Jake begins training under the firm, moral guidance of a MMA master, where he learns how to fight... and how to avoid a fight. But it becomes obvious that a rematch will be inevitable if Jake wants to stop Ryan and his bullying, once and for all.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film knows its strengths and plays to them honestly. Visual style and pacing are in sync; you never feel you're watching different films stitched together.

Worth watching for the solidly executed sequences and overall energy. The plot doesn't reach for revelation — but it doesn't get in the way.

For those who want to switch off and get an adrenaline dose without complications.

Director: Jeff Wadlow
