Not the MMA film we were looking for

 

Born a Champion (2021)


Directed by Alex Ranarivelo this film stars Sean Patrick Flanery, Katrina Bowden, Maurice Compte and Dennis Quaid. An American who is an expert in Brazilian jiu-jitsu gets involved in unsanctioned MMA fights.


Unfortunately the plot of this film is dripping with coincidences and over sentimentality. Clearly this is supposed to be Sean Patrick Flanery's lover letter to martial arts but the script hamstrings everything. The fight sequences are decent but no where near good enough to carry this film.


2/5
