The story of one-armed MMA fighter Nick Newell is an inspirational one, battling not just opponents but prejudice to rise to the top of his profession. Sadly, this glossy biopic starring Cody Christian (MTV’s Teen Wolf) turns decades of struggle into a cliché-ridden sports flick that favours peppy training montages and rousing speeches over any of the scarred soul that Darren Aronofsky brought to
The Wrestler. Still, the energetic fight sequences have punch (and kick), and there are lots of them.
