Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The certificate for this drama of bad blood is significant: it's been designed for adolescent boys who've watched few movies but a whole lifetime of cagefights on TV.
Welcome to Smackdown Central. Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton play estranged Irish-American brothers who meet after 14 years when both, by happy coincidence, return to the ring in Atlantic City for a winner-takes-all stompfest. Nick Nolte, as the ex-drunk father the family had to escape, glowers on through ever-narrowing eyes. The atmosphere of juvenile machismo is fairly harmless; the 140-minute running time, however, is pure sadism.
