It's a superficial treatment that favours messaging and easy momentum over any taxing grappling with emotional complexities.

Rated: 2/5

One Guy's Opinion

This real-life underdog sports movie, set in the world of mixed martial arts, is...riddled with clichés, but features some decent performances and well-staged fight scenes.

Rated: C

Crooked Marquee

As is often the case with movies like this, the brief documentary clips during the closing credits are more compelling than all the preceding drama.

Loved this movie. Inspirational, exciting, heartfelt and based on a real MMA fighter. Perfect for putting a smile On your face and love in your heart. I really melted at the relationship that this gorgeous guy had with his hard working mom. They only have each other throughout most of Nicks young life and it really is special to see the connection he has with his mom. They take care of each other while supporting each others dreams. They both were willing to sacrifice their dream to make that of the others come true. This was a really feel good refreshing movie much needed during this time of uncertainty and negativity taking place all over the world. I highly recommend everyone take your friends and family to see Notorious Nick, puts a smile on your face and the reminder you are capable of making any dream you have come true. Make a goal for yourself and dont stop until you make that goal!

This sports drama was really good. Cody Christian, Elizabeth Rohm, Kevin Pollak, Barry Livingston, and the rest of the cast did a fantastic job in this movie. This true story about a one-armed man named Nick Newell that worked very hard and never gave up on what he loved was inspirational, dramatic, and heartfelt. It's one of the greatest underdog stories ever. If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a must see.
