Ever-loyal Stanley (Charlie Hunnam) takes great pride in managing Lion (Jack O'Connell), his bare knuckle–boxer brother, but when a devastating loss in the ring leaves the pair deep in debt with Pepper (Jonathan Majors), he gives them an opportunity to recoup by taking on one last fight. The catch is that the bout is across the country in San Francisco and they are required to take an unwanted companion along — a young woman named Sky (Jessica Barden). At first, Sky is nothing more than cargo to the brothers until she sparks a connection with Lion, causing his growing reluctance to box to become harder to hide. After she makes an escape attempt, they discover that her intended destination will put her in the hands of an abusive criminal who sees her as his possession. Stanley and Lion have to decide whether to risk their lives to help her, or to keep their eyes on the prize — and this starts to break down the bond between them.

Throughout the entire film, I couldn't shake the feeling that I'd seen similar stories done better a thousand times. The standout positives are the performances by Charlie Hunnam, Jack O'Connell, and Jessica Barden. They were the main reason I stuck with it until the end. Otherwise, it's pretty average.
