Subpar failure

There is a promise evident in the first 30 mins but that possibility is cashiered over and over again by embarrassingly bad/unskilled acting by one after another of the lead actors. I'm going to lay the blame on the apparent laziness of the director whose responsibility it was to eke out competency from his lead actors - and he failed abominably. So, 4 out of 10 for strong possibility of the film but SCRATCH really for final impression.

messy writing

Bear and Cowboy are Marines. They escape ISIS torture and make it all the way back home. Dr. Rev is taking care of Cowboy who is dying from an ISIS injection. He's told that he has three months to live. Bear tries to reconnect with his ex Skyler. Unable to find work, he goes back to mixed martial arts but Coach Bronx (Eric Roberts) refuses to train him.This is a low budget indie. It's a struggle to find a focus for this film. The leads are not great actors. The movie is split into two stories that don't really connect until the end. It's a bunch of movie ideas being jammed together. I get the idea of sacrifice . It's better to concentrate the story solely on Bear. It may be better for him to be the sole survivor dealing with survivor guilt. Scott Pryor probably piece together this film while writing in the gym. Maybe he should get a scrawny nerdy writer to clean up this film. The fights are fine but I get the sense that it's where most of the effort went into. This wants to be Rocky but the secret of that film is that Sly is actually a good writer.
