I'm a big fan of MMA and enjoyed the cameo roles of some big names.

The fight scenes were realistic and the underlying storyline offered another perspective to the plot.

My only criticism being the impact of the fights from a makeup viewpoint...

Enjoyed it so much, I binged watched from start to finish.

I'm at the point that my review is too short, so I'll try to pad it out.

The underlying storyline, with no spoilers offers another perspective as to why folk take up MMA, boxing and other high intensity sports.

Sorry, I need another 80 characters to make the cut. I suppose it stops poor reviews.

Obviously action movies tend to dismiss realism for a good view, but this just scrapes by as watchable due to its unrealistic plot and characters that just don't fit. A medical officer portrayed as some kind of elite hand to hand combat specialist, assisted by an agent who just seems to blunder his way through the ordeal. Then we have an Irish family with poor accents, no regard for the outcome of their actions - just bouncing from one mishap to another, hardly the traits of an organised mob gang. Shame it didn't have some one liners and a comedic slant as it would had have improved the outcome dramatically.
