This movie had a pretty good production value, but the story/plot just wasn't believable! That a guy want's hurt himself and others in the this guy does, and still be a carrying good human being just seems so wrong.
And as far as I remember the "boss fight" in the end just didn't deliver... It's as if they didn't know what to focus on: emotion or fighting... I mean The Wrestler does a pretty good job right? And so does Enter The Dragon... And those movies know where to focus =)
