A loss in the boxing ring forces two brothers into serious debt in this road movie. To pay it all back, the pair look to hit the road and participate in a big bare-knuckle fight, but it's a journey that could break their bond for good. Stars Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy), Jack O'Connell ('71), Jessica Barden (The End of the F**king World) and Jonathan Majors (Lovecraft Country).

The sweaty clichés enacted along the way are uniformly tired and ultimately offensive. A love scene near the movie’s finale, Winkler’s vision of sex among the underclass, is a caricature that could comfortably fit in the new “Borat” movie.

This dire and dreamy road movie is impressive work from director and co-writer Winkler (he co-wrote with Theodore Bressman and David Branson Smith).
