Reaction: Despite the presence of stars like Shia LaBeouf and Ben Foster, this film has continued the Hollywood trend of mixed martial arts-themed films failing at the box office.
"While the fight scenes are entertaining enough, this film completely hinges on the relationship between the characters played by Ben Foster and Shia LaBeouf. If their chemistry hadn't worked, the film would not have either. Thankfully they work great together, playing off each other nicely." - Charles Triano, Los Angeles
"Despite the strong lead performances, the story felt overly bleak throughout. This bleakness keeps the characters at a distance from the audience. I wanted to like these characters based on the cast, but they ended up depressing me instead." - Olive Carroll, Houston Chronicle
"Shia LaBeouf and Ben Foster are both known for their intense physical and emotional preparation for their roles. That commitment turns this film into a tense acting duel in every scene they share together." - Dennis Smith - Orlando Sentinel
