01/26/2019 This movie taught me a couple things: not all warriors wear armor and not all combat is savage. Though I squinted just a couple times, I stay tuned for the bold characters and the rich storyline. I appreciate that this movie came full circle. See more 08/08/2017 Just all round absolutely terrible. See more 07/19/2015 This is a movie about street fight. I found it to be very disturbing. People fighting like animals. It makes me sick to my stomach. See more charlie l 06/26/2015 An interesting insight into the world of backyard fighting. See more 05/23/2015 Brutal and tragic film given the sad state of many of the people, yet a very excellently told story. See more 05/22/2015 Some times the difference between a good and a great documentary is the film maker getting lucky. There are good story lines and it will defiantly hold you attention.
