I know right. Such a wasted opportunity to get it right, and Hollywood fails yet again.

​@@troybabs camera angles matter. You have no idea when the slow-mo close up to the face, sweat dripp8ng off every surface shot that's gonna take place

[@troybabs]

@@djkellum12 The choreographers got it wrong... they had Jake put himself against the cage with arms down taking big shots, not defending himself for no reason, that in reality would drop a fighter... then Jake goes insane, punching his unconscious opponent over and over and over like the WWE. And of course the ref can't stop him. It's a complete failure. So unrealistic. Par for Hollywood tho.
