Our take

An action thriller about a retired MMA fighter pulled back into a criminal fight scene and mob heist. Relentless strong language, gun threats, underground brawls and fentanyl-trafficking references run through the dialogue. Unrated on digital, with R-level crime violence suited to adults and older teens around 16+.

Uplifting themes

Protecting a godson and honoring a mentor's legacy motivate the lead, even though the methods stay violent The hero tries to shield a younger fighter while operating inside a criminal world

Story (may spoil tone)

Ex-fighter returns from exile to bury his best friend and confront old rivalries. Reuniting with his godson, a streetwise enforcer entangled with a powerful crime syndicate, the two hatch a high-stakes heist in a desperate bid to escape the grip of a ruthless mob bos
