April 29Apr 29 He can definitely act. He's just from carny stock and would rather draw in the rubes with superhero and 2fast movies.
September 9Sep 9 The Bas Rutten appearance takes me back about 20-25 years to the glory days of early Internet videos
September 10Sep 10 I refuse to see this movie because the one trailer has been in front of every fucking movie I’ve seen for the past year.

October 6Oct 6 I enjoyed it. The Rock really did Mark Kerr justice. The violence of those early fights were just brutal. Emily Blunt was good as well. Annoying a bit at times with the self-centered stuff, but she had good chemistry with him. Having actual fighters portraying the main two opponents was cool too.

Kerr himself said she nailed playing a selfish bitch, which means she understood the assignment

He’s trying to get clean and she’s going out and getting drunk. Did lead to a funny scene where he was talking to his sponsor while she was yelling at him.

October 8Oct 8 Apparently it's bombing at the box office.Did they actually expect an indie bio drama about a dude 99% of the US has never heard of or remembers would blow up the box office?

Wouldn't the biggest group of fans for Kerr be in Japan? The Iron Claw had people in the US that were familiar with that story. Kerr I had never heard of before this movie. Bad box office numbers aside, it's a pretty good movie and I'll bet several of y'all that wait to watch this at home will enjoy it.
October 17Oct 17 Saw it, enjoyed it, pretty good performances. I’m surprised that the guy who played Coleman is not an actor - I liked him. There was a moment that had that crazy Safdie tension from Good Times and Gems. Overall though as someone not at all familiar with the story beyond generally being aware of UFC, I’m left a bit empty. Spoiler We didn’t see the rise of the ufc, we didn’t see him get sober, we didn’t see him completely crash or get away from his toxic relationship or otherwise heal, we kinda didn’t get any of that? Him struggling and trying to get better and his career faltering and he sobriety but then doesn’t and then we cut to learning that he most likely continued to not get better for some more years before ultimately not getting his due for the giant sports phenomenon he helped create but that we didn’t really see him help create in the US. It was a really thin slice of the story I thought I was going to see.

It was a really thin slice of the story I thought I was going to see. I think what we’re figuring out is that many of these stories are impossible to tell if they aren’t done in the form of mini-series/season. This is especially so when it’s a story about someone most of us know very little about.
