This films so depressing that by the end you don’t even have any motivation left to continue watching. If trauma dumping was a film. Shit just kept happening and it was so depressing and it wasn’t even fun to watch it just made me depressed. The wrestling was the best part but by the end of it I lost all interest in watching it coz what’s the point of anything when your whole life is fucked.
Zac Efron did a good job you could feel the pain in his eyes. This film isn’t even sad it’s just straight depression.
I thought this would be a cool film about a bunch of brothers wrestling I didn’t expect to get traumatised.
Didn’t cry until the very final scene.
6.0/10
It’s pretty insane this is a true story
