a review of

I'm not the first person to suggest that this is the bodybuilder's version of that old 'Whiplash meets Eminim's "Stan" with a sprinkle of Taxi Driver' chestnut, but it really is an almost entirely accurate way to describe this movie. Strong performances, beautifully shot, and the first hour is truly compelling, but I feel like it loses its way and is about 10-15 minutes too long.
