Jake, full of anger after his father's death, is just starting to find a place for himself at his new Orlando high school - until Ryan, head of an underground MMA fight club, picks Jake out as a prime opponent. After being trounced by Ryan in front of the entire school, Jake begins training under the firm, moral guidance of a MMA master, where he learns how to fight... and how to avoid a fight. But it becomes obvious that a rematch will be inevitable if Jake wants to stop Ryan and his bullying, once and for all.

The ending was pretty anticlimatic, rushed and pretty bad. Many flaws and annoying characters, Hounsou performance was the pinnacle of the film. However, I can't say this movie didn't spark my interest its whole duration, regardless of its quality in my opinion.
