A master class on how not to make a film

At first, when I looked at the cast of this film, I thought that I would see a good quality spectacle, however, this "thriller" left me with the opposite feeling. In the epicenter of the events is an ex-soldier Duffy, who participates in an underground fighting league for the sake of big money. It is an association similar to a fight club, but corrupt police officers play a major role in the organization and control of these fights. In fact, it is an illegal business office. Duffy is an anti-establishment man who knows the misery of war. Due to financial difficulties, Duffy decides to take part in these illegal fights, but in the end, the main character becomes persona non grata of the corrupt policemen. In my opinion, the content of the film is not refined. The dialogues are very superficial, lacking depth. The script is very flawed. The characters are not open. The character of the one and only Jamie King made an interesting impression on me. For Jamie, this was the first negative character he portrayed in his career. As for the director, Christian Sesma, he has a lot of works in this style, but all of them were evaluated very negatively.
