The movie centers on Logan Chandler, a young MMA fighter, who seeks to overcome a troubled past and build a new life based on a new faith and a new found love. His new faith is tested when a local MMA professional (Matt Leddo), whose only losing fight was to Logan, forces him back into the cage.
Director Michael William Gordon and writer Jim Davis give us a hopeful feeling about Logan without insisting on solving all his problems - or insisting that God will solve them for him.
"The Fight Within" is too generic as a sports flick, and too pro forma as a tract. There's more vitality and humanity in the closing-credits blooper reel than in anything in the actual picture.
Although the movie doesn't really break any new ground in terms of romantic, overcoming-the-odds sports flicks, it remains recommended as Evangelical fare that's more entertaining than heavy-handed.
"The Fight Within" is clunky and didactic, and the movie as a whole has appreciably less mainstream appeal than several other recent, and much better, faith-based dramas.
