A well-researched story that takes place in and around the Ultimate Fighting world. I've heard people say the ending isn't satisfying, but I disagree. Mamet excels at not giving everything away, and his ending has the right kind of ambiguity. To understand the film properly, the lessons of jujitsu spouted throughout must be applied to all characters' behavior. Very strong performances from Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tim Allen and Emily Mortimer, and interesting fighting scenes besides. 7 years 4 months ago -

The story is good and also kind of wierd making it very unpredictable. Not very good acting.. 9 years 7 months ago -

I wanted to like this more than I actually did. I like that the protagonist is an absolute idealist, and I liked the concept of the film, but the script is fairly silly, and I generally adore Mamet's voice. The climax was great until it became absolutely ridiculous. Worth watching, but not worth gushing over the way some of my friends have. 12 years 8 months ago
