Aug 8, 2024Man, this movie takes me back to the beginning of bjj in America!! I was there and this movie is spot on. Brought to life by a real bjj black belt, Sean Patrick Flanery, who was also there and has weaved the real history through a beautiful story. It's really well done and the acting is top notch. Film gives me chills to watch and fills me with wonderful memories of a time not many were lucky enough to witness. This movies takes you there. Well done! 👏🏻👏🏻

Aug 8, 2024I was so surprised...the trailer is so-so but the movie is simply great. I was so gland to see Flanery, an actor who is also a real life BJJ black belt and also runs his own BJJ place in Hollywood where he also teaches, play a fighter, which he really is (well not MMA but he is well known for his BJJ skills). It looks realistic, although he is 55 years old in real life, in the movie he plays a much younger person, simply because he is so fit and looks much younger thanks to his lifestyle and... makeup. In terms of plot, you have seen it before in so many movies, but still, the cast brings all you can wish for, so if you like these action-drama-fighting movies you will be fully satisfied. A must watch if you ask me.
