I was rather intrigued as soon as this film started, a bunch of people with too much many bet money on fighters. The fights have no rules, the winner is the fighter who knocks their opponent down and their opponent can get back up again; so involves many health risks and even death.
12 fighters must make their way through the rounds to win £500k and the back also wins a hefty sum. The fighers have names but mainly called by what they do: Policeman, Delinquent, Homeless, the Foreigner.
I though it was strange that they kept the uniform on, in which society would recognise them, but looking at it, it is making a statement that us mere mortals (the regular joe's in society) are defined by what we do, where as those with money can just walk away from. The only emotion shown was whe one of the high and mighty was angry, not for losing money, but just for loosing.
