Today – Thu 09 Oct
From director Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems, Good Time) comes this impressive new biographical drama, exploring the career and personal life of legendary mixed martial arts fighter Mark Kerr.
Drama • Biography • Gritty

Portrayed with vulnerability and conviction by Dwayne Johnson, mixed martial arts and UFC champion Mark Kerr, alongside his devoted partner Dawn (Emily Blunt), faces a defeat he's never been prepared for, as he battles his own demons and addiction.

The true story of this huge 90s sports personality subverts familiar conventions of the genre, with its realistic grit, documentary feel and honest directness, which is what you'd expect from Benny Safdie, here directing solo for the first time following his acclaimed work on Good Time and Uncut Gems alongside his brother.
