Plot

The story is about Mickey Kelly, who is a retired marine officer. As he is also a prodigy in jiu-jitsu, he becomes a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. He is criticized and underestimated because of his age, but soon enough, he proves them wrong. But a fight with Marco Blaine changes everything. He loses badly, even loses the retina of his eye, and the doctor says that he’ll never be able to recover fully to fight again. A video on the internet gets viral, which clearly shows Marco Blaine cheated in that fight. Fans ask for a rematch between them, and Mickey Kelly gets another chance to gain his lost fame.

Star power

Patrick Flanery helped to write this movie works in his favor. He knows what is needed in the film and acts exactly that way. Another plus point was that he trained in jiu-jitsu, which makes the fights look realistic and believable. Katrina Bowden was authentic in her role. She is amazing in what she does. The supporting roles were also fantastic.

Analysis

Born a Champion is an outstanding movie with everything you can ask for, action, drama, sport, drama, romance, family, and so much more. The movie has an amazing storyline and mind-blowing acting by the stars. The movie was shot in half documentary style, and half movie style, which is something new and refreshing to watch. The cinematography was fine, and the movie felt a little slow-paced. It would’ve been much better if the movie was a little fast-paced.

Overall, the film is very good. It flows well with surprising twists and turns. The plot is something praiseworthy and the way it was filmed makes it feel like a real story.
