Brawl

A former boxer, Mike, moves to Thailand to start a new life when he is robbed and left with nothing...until he meets Yo, a skilled Muay Thai boxer, and his beautiful wife. The new friends soon enter an underground fight club called "Fighting Fish" in order to make the money they desperately need to survive, but in this dangerous world, losing is not an option.

Directed by David Ismalone, Julaluck Ismalone, Brawl leans on a strong ensemble — Jawed Berni, David Ismalone, Jakkrit Kanokpodjananon — 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 action titles of 2012.
