Mike Terry is a Los Angeles jiu-jitsu instructor who runs his self-defense studio by a strict code: no competitions, no compromises. Chiwetel Ejiofor gives Mike a quiet, watchful center as a late-night car accident and a chance encounter with a movie star pull him into a fight world of promoters, cops, and mounting debts. Emily Mortimer is the distraught lawyer tied to the accident, while Tim Allen’s Chet Frank opens a door into the film business. Written and directed by David Mamet, the story follows Mike as pressure on his finances, marriage, and principles pushes him toward the ring.
