Kid is an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash.

Viewing Notes
Has way more in common with Korean action thrillers and East Asian action films like ONG BAK than anything American, which is a good thing. Could have used more medium shots, especially during the action scenes to better ground everything. My biggest complaint on first viewing is the, at times downright claustrophobic, amount of extreme closeups and constant camera movement during the first two thirds of the film.
