Brawl

About This Movie

So, 'Brawl' is one of those gritty action flicks that really immerses you in the underbelly of fight culture. It follows Mike, a washed-up boxer who relocates to Thailand, hoping for a fresh start but ends up getting into some real trouble. The film’s pace is relentless, matching the chaotic atmosphere of underground fighting. The way they capture the Muay Thai scenes feels raw, with practical effects that give it a sense of authenticity. The performances, especially from the lead, are grounded and add depth to the high-octane action. It's all about desperation and camaraderie in a brutal world, and while the direction might not be the strongest suit, the vibe it creates is distinctly memorable in its own right.
