American Fighter

Action & Adventure • R • Directed by: Shaun Piccinino • 98 minutes

Desperate for cash to save his deathly ill mother, college wrestler Ali (George Kosturos, AMERICAN WRESTLER: THE WIZARD) enters the hidden world of underground fighting. Ali shows promise, but he lacks skills, and gets beaten bloody. Duke (Sean Patrick Flanery, THE BOONDOCK SAINTS), a troubled handler, takes pity on the boy and trains him to be a fierce competitor—but is it enough to make Ali a winner? This gritty action tale also stars Tommy Flanagan ("Sons of Anarchy").
