The Fighting Man

I bought this movie and watched it last night. It stars Dominic Purcell as the lead character and also starring James Caan.

It's about an over 40 fighter who has fought 63 fights and has never won one, but has also never been knocked down in the ring. He wants one last fight so he can take his mother to Ireland one last time before she dies of cancer.

It's also about a young 20 year old who's 18 year old wife is having their first child and how he needs the money to support them.

As the fight rages on you get flashbacks into both these men's lives and why and how they came to this point in their lives.

I think it's a great movie and very heartfelt. Both men have suffered in their lives and you actually feel for both these men.

Love the ending! I cried!

I have liked Dominic Purcell since he starred in John Doe, but I think this is one of his best roles todate.

If you like fight movies with a heart and a good story, I recommend this movie.

Warning the fight scenes are very bloody and realistic for a movie.
