      Audience Member Easy to watch, but not that special Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I only started watching this because I love Wes Chatham but a pretty face would not have kept me watching. I had never heard of this movie before but I loved it. It's a second chance story where the guy gets the girl. Simple but really good. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 5.3/10 I watched this movie for the MMA element and cameos from fighters like Shawn Jordan because I'm an MMA nut. With that being said, it's a low budget flick and most of the movie is rough, including the acting, plot, sound effects etc. I doubt id watch if again, but hey, I got through it once so it could have been a lot worse. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member The dialogue was terrible. It was almost entertaining in a guy's night in way, but ultimately it sucked. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review farah r The Philly Kid has nothing new to offer. The same wrestler story fighting for the cash. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Like most movies of its genre this one doesn't stand out in any way Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
