CGiii Comment
A thoroughly horrid film.
HOLLYWOOD: STOP MAKING THIS IRRESPONSIBLE POOP!
Middle class, pretty white boys with attitude and stable homes....burdened with attitude and trust funds. Ghastly.
A minor (offensive) gay character just adds to the overall offensiveness.
A sort-of noxious Fight Club for pre-pubescent, spot-popping irritants.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...

After receiving threats to the safety of his friends and family, Jake seeks the mentoring of a veteran fighter, to train his mind and body for one final no-holds-barred elimination fight with his unrelenting personal nemesis and local martial arts champion Ryan McCarthy.
