Every weekend, in basements and parking lots across the country, young men with good white-collar jobs and absent fathers take off their shoes and shirts and fight each other barehanded for as long as they have to. Then they go back to those jobs with blackened eyes and loosened teeth and the sense that they can handle anything.

I decided to read the book as I seen the film a couple of times and really enjoyed it. The film follows the book pretty well and moves along at a good pace. It is a unnerving, but enjoyable read. Having said that, I prefer the film…

Overall rating: 4/5
