Fighting-themed films, with the actual combat feeling of punching and kicking, always give people the feeling of blood throbbing. There are a lot of films of this type, but not many are really pure fighting themes, and there are even a handful of wonderfully shot ones. The strong bodies of the two male protagonists, especially Tommy, are very suitable for such tough guy films.
The plot of the film is also done very well, giving the film a very fulfilling storytelling. Broken families, fathers, sons, and brothers have a deep estrangement, but the special feature of the film is that the characters did not make obvious sensational events from beginning to end to resolve the estrangement. Tommy is as cool as ever, and even beats his brother mercilessly in the final battle. The most touching thing between brothers is that they locked you and broke your arm and said "I love you", which seems very bloody, but it is very practical. In the end, even if he won the championship, Brandon did not celebrate and left the ring with Tommy in his arms. Go straight to the backstage. There is no obvious sensationalism, and it shows the brother's emotions reasonably and truly. Personally, I think this is the most ingenious part of the film's portrayal of emotion, very real and very real.
Of course, the film itself is rich in emotional expression. Tommy's strong body hides a very rebellious and repressed heart. He was abandoned by his father since he was a child. He also thinks that his brother abandoned him, so in the Iraq War A U.S. military plane accidentally bombed, sacrificing his comrades, whom he thought had abandoned him. Despite this, he retained the same kindness and bravery as always in his heart. He took out the tank and rescued his comrades. He participated in the boxing match and promised to give the full prize money to the widow of the comrade-in-arms. Brandon, the head of the family, is deeply in debt because of his child's heart attack. He can only participate in boxing matches to pay off his debts as soon as possible and avoid the house being repossessed by the bank. His sense of responsibility for the family, the unyielding man before the plight and the helplessness before the reality are all vividly portrayed in the film. Father-son relationship, brotherhood, husband-wife relationship, friendship in war, co-workers, teacher-student relationship, especially the latter emotions, are infinitely magnified during the live broadcast of fighting.
What needs to be emphasized here is that the biggest attraction of fighting films is the fighting itself. Fighting clips, giving a strong sense of the scene. After a lot of preparations have been made in the plot, your heart is like the audience following the hero, and you will cheer for the hero's counterattack. At the same time, the soundtrack of the film is very in place, majestic and shocking.
It is rare to see a five-star movie, and even more rare to see a five-star fighting movie!
