Lazarus

About This Movie

Lazarus (2025) dives deep into the gritty world of combat sports. The atmosphere is tense, almost palpable, as Lazarus Perry grapples not just with opponents but with his own demons—literally, after dying in the ring. The pacing feels deliberate, almost like a slow burn, leading to that critical rematch that looms large over the film. You can really feel the weight of his past decisions, the stakes are high. The performances are raw, and there's a certain authenticity to the fight choreography that grabs you. Practical effects are on display, lending a realness that CGI just can't match. It’s a story about redemption, confrontation, and the brutal reality of second chances. It is definitely something different in its approach to the genre.
