Movie Haiku:Two brothers compete mano-a-mano in an internationally televised mixed martial arts competition while their father 12-Steps on the sidelines. It all sounds absurd but the back stories are so compelling & the whole cast is so committed (in minor roles too), that we were both totally hooked. Bravo Gavin O'Connor! And kudos to Mark Isham for great soundtrack too!
