If you like inspirational, gritty, underdog stories like Rocky or Rudy, rent this one.

Of course, since it is an underdog movie, it is a bit derivative of the aforementioned flicks, but it more than makes up for it with a good story, solid acting, and great MMA action. Nick Nolte puts in a good performance, and Joel Edgerton makes a likeable Everyman as the main character. You really want to root for the guy. I'll be looking for him in future movies.

I give it four out of five stars.
