Sweat

Leo is a hardworking mail courier saving every penny for college—until his reckless brother Donald racks up a massive debt with the mob and is left for dead on his doorstep. Desperate to save him, Leo gives up his entire college fund, but it’s not enough. With time running out, he takes a wild gamble: entering the Mr. Miami bodybuilding championship, despite having zero experience. As he trains against all odds, Leo is thrown into a high-stakes world of muscle, mayhem, and mob pressure—where winning isn’t just about pride, but survival.

Directed by Freddie Robinson Jr., Sweat leans on a strong ensemble — Paul Caesar, Dave Corey, Tommy Lane — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2007.
