Kid is an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash.

Needed more dev patel without a shirt
Peak incoming
I love the visuals: the framing, the editing, the color scheme, the vibes. The action scenes are a lot of fun to watch, with interesting choreography and a frenetic energy. The story was also good, but it clashed with the action scenes for me. I either want an adrenaline-infused action movie, or I want a politically and spiritually meaningful story. It gave me tonal whiplash.
You know what though? One of my favorite action movies is Shoot Em Up, so this is probably just a Stormy problem.
