• Directed by Justin Tipping from a screenplay by Tipping, Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie, the feature is produced by Jordan Peele through Monkeypaw.
• The story follows top prospect Cameron Cade, who trains at legend Isaiah White’s remote compound after a traumatic head injury, where the regimen turns increasingly nightmarish.
• Critics single out Marlon Wayans’s against-type performance and bold visuals—including X‑ray collision sequences and graphic injury depictions—alongside Bobby Krlic’s unsettling score.
• Many reviews describe a disjointed second half and over-the-top finale, noting that the film’s critique of football’s brutality and quasi-religious culture lands unevenly.
