This isnt a remake. It isn't a 200 million dollar summer blockbuster. What it is, is a fun, exciting, and surprisingly funny movie full of familiar faces that doesn't take itself too serious. Your classic down and out fighter turned hero story. It's fight scenes are both wild and realistic. Also, McGregor absolutely kills it in this movie. This became my favorite Gyllenhaal movie, and that's no small feat. He's absolutely jacked, he's hilarious, his acting is top notch, and this is the most fun I've had watching a movie in years. Truly is a must see!
