"This film is the most ambitious failure. I love Tati as an actor, and I love the way the scenes are made; they’re so intelligent and funny, and the timing is fantastic in each and every moment. It has a Chaplin-like precision. But it’s also a black hole that sucks energy from the audience. I also really love his short films, like the one where he’s teaching actors how to walk into a wall properly. For me, Tati took acting to a level comparable to sports. His performances are very direct, and you can see his skill as an actor."

One prize.....12 fighters......only one will survive!
Ok so I happened to stumble upon this, as a fan of combat sports the cover caught my attention. The film is a British, hard hitting round by round, tournament fight fest, with plenty of action, blood and intensity.
My only problem is that the story is a little too weak although rich people betting on a single fighter doesn't really need explaining.
Winning fighter loots £500,000.


This is something I recommend viewers watch at least once if your able to find it.

My not at all guilty pleasure is sports films. Love them. The trailers for this brought a smile to my face and I still can't see the title without hearing it as "Unclllllleee Dreeeeeeew" in my head.

While I enjoyed it, I was left a little disappointed. It was definitely amusing and seeing Uncle Drew and his team of OAPs (old-age players) was very funny. But the rest of the goings on left it a bit flat for me.

The dance off had me smiling and dancing in my seat. That was probably the redeeming feature.
