I saw something for it somewhere once and it seemed interesting until the title came up, then I was given the impression it'll be lame and never thought about it again.

    Based on the 2002 documentary The Smashing Machine: The Life and Times of Extreme Fighter Mark Kerr

    Aaay. That would've made a lot more sense.

    With no context, the impression I got was like watching a brief trailer for Sully, except Tom Hanks has a reputation for things like Fast and Furious, and the trailer ends with, "Redemption Most Fowl, in cinemas blah blah..."
