In today’s fractured landscape, I often gravitate towards films that highlight physical competition or high-stakes races, as they serve as sources of motivation and inspiration. I also understand the critical need to address the mental health challenges many men face. Regrettably, this film misses the mark entirely.
While it stars a talented actor known for his impressive physique—having delivered memorable performances in films like "Creed"—this particular project was a letdown. I found myself tempted to walk out, yet I felt an obligation to see it through to the end. The execution was peculiar and awkward, ultimately feeling like a missed opportunity.
As the film progressed, it only seemed to deteriorate, especially when I had hoped for a turnaround. Despite Jonathan Majors’ commendable portrayal of his character, both the writer and director failed to capitalize on his talent. Ultimately, this experience left me frustrated, as it fell woefully short of the expectations it set.
