very conventional movie, a bad regenerated alcoholic father, a brother former Iraqi soldier who fights furiously on behalf of fellow fallen in combat and another brother who fights to pay the mortgage on your home and your family peace of mind. ¿?, Why I saw this movie? I thought about the high rating votes on IMBD i find a different film to the common, but do not expect anything new, rocky 1 .. 5, Van Damme and others similar are their sources. remarked the good performances of Nolte, Brady and Edgerton. Shame on the writer-director who could have done something to remember but perhaps preferred the business side and they got it. about mixed martial arts is not a film representing them but street fights where the most furious and / or the heart that beats no intelligence or training.

This film meets fine copy of some original scenes,the director either assimilate good the essence of the film base, the atmosphere, the stress..of the original.it is something positive, which did not make any of the subsequent films in this franchise. although only in play the scenes, not on the composition of the story. but choose starring skinny Adrien Brody was complete wrong, he looks like a hungry prisioner, who would repect a prisoner underfed? it's smart for a hunter of men?
but worst of all was that merge all cultural stereotypes, worlwide bastards?, something like the international group of bastards?, JAPANESE, MEXICAN.. etc.
the result was an international size garbage.
typical trash films of r. rodriguez club(with the only exception of mariachi for me).
see this film once is enough, but without many expectations. mainly for fans of Predator and refresh some of the original sequences.
