A young man ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he's beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, he discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city's sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Caught the trailer for this when it came out, looks good and looks like an impressive directorial debut for Dev

This looks really good. I'm down.

Yeah, I agree this does look pretty awesome! Besides, I have a soft spot for "beat 'em up" kind of films.

Good movie, some solid action, especially towards the end. My only complaint is it's a little long. Some of the flashbacks could've been removed or shortened and that would've made the full flashback reveal a stronger impact for the viewer in understanding the lead's motivation. Next to that it was a solid action flick and a seriously impressive directorial debut of Dev Patel. I'd love to see him direct more in the future. 7/10

I absolutely loved this. Time was fine, didn't feel like two hours to me. Loved the story and seeing India.

Liked the sound track too!
