I get it that the action movies aren't known for their story or logic, yet I recently caught this flick on Netflix, and I believe this one takes the recent lead as the stupidest action movie of recent times.
For example the plot revolves around semi poor MMA fighter\gym owner who suppose to do a fight which will bring him a lot of money, yet decides to quit to get to his daughter birthday because his ex decided she'd sue him for sole custody because he's no show. The whole movie happens during 60 minutes period of time.
He decides to run away (literally by foot), though eventually he loses everything and on the way fights his opponent anyway.
Aside from numerous plot problems that are ridiculous at best, the thing that caught my eye was the main lead's earbuds. There is literally zero chance they'd stay inside his ears entire time through his fighting sequences. It's a small detail, but it's been a problem for me for a long time.
The fighting scenes are decent and that's the only reason I gave this movie 5/10.
Considering everything, I guess this movie can work if you're under the influence and are looking for some mindless action flick.

Decent action with a plot of colossal stupidity
Could be better
It was fun to watch this movie because of those nice fighting scenes. But there were a lot of problems with plot and continuity.
First, it was a stupid idea to talk on the phone just before a cage fight. Pros don't do that.
Second, presenting the woman as a big problem is the point i will not get.
Third, how is it possible that usual mafia guys can take so mich damage and can still involve in fights again and again?
Fourth and the worst, by the way i did not see this in the reviews, day and night problem. So as we see in the movie, Berlin can jump from afternoon sun to midnight darkness in sixty minutes? And it's frim 17.00 to 18.00?
And finally, who the heck is that lawyer?
Enjoyable action movie
While there are a lot of familiar elements here, this movie feels different and fresher than a lot of the action movies getting released these days. You feel the main characters pain (both physical and mental) over the course of his journey to see his daughter.
The action is well choreographed and realistic, and the plot moves at a good pace, with some good emotional moments in between. It feels like a perfect run time that doesn't out stay it's welcome at less than 90 minutes. The ending is a little neat, but action movies aren't exactly known for their realism so it's somewhat forgivable. The final image put a smile on my face, just being a little different than the norm.
The lead actor does a great job, while the supporting cast manages well with the little time the movie devotes to them.
Worth a watch!
