Tommy (Tom Hardy – The Dark Knight Rises) returns home after a tour of duty and reluctantly reconnects with his ex-alcoholic father Paddy (Nick Nolte – 48 Hours). He starts training with him for a mixed martial arts (MMA) tournament in the hope of winning some cash for a fallen comrade’s family. Elsewhere Brendan (Joel Edgerton – Animal Kingdom), Paddy’s other son, is struggling to keep payments up on his house. The high-school teacher is working hard to deliver for his family and is forced to partake in underground fights to make ends meet – something his wife Tess (Jennifer Morrison – House M.D.) doesn’t know about. Brendan eyes the upcoming tournament as a potential way to solve his family’s money worries and enters not knowing that Tommy is back on the scene. The two estranged brothers are soon on a collision course as they progress through the tournament and reignite long-standing problems and broken dreams.

This was such an awesome movie...I think everyone should go see it on the big screen. I'm not one to go see fight movies but I'm glad I went to see this one. I highly recommend it.
