Rumble

About This Movie

Rumble is an interesting entry in the action genre, featuring a worn-down former MMA fighter drawn back into a gritty underground scene. The pacing is pretty relentless, which keeps you hooked, but it also gives you time to ponder the stakes, especially with his girlfriend kidnapped by some cartel guy. The performances, especially from the lead, have a rawness to them that adds to the film's authenticity. The practical effects in the fight scenes are quite notable, too - they don’t hold back, making you feel each punch. It has this dark, edgy atmosphere that lingers, which is a nice contrast to the more formulaic stuff out there.
