Patton fights Xavier Grau for the ONE Championship

The film jumps from its weakest opening act to its strongest final fight sequence, gaining over 4 points as the authentic MMA choreography finally delivers on the premise.
Beast starts poorly with low-budget production values and generic setup that immediately disappointed viewers. The film gradually improves through competent but familiar character development, reaching its peak during genuinely impressive fight choreography that multiple reviewers praised as some of the best MMA cinematography they'd seen. However, the resolution fails to capitalize on the strong action sequences, leaving audiences satisfied with the fights but emotionally disconnected from the overall story.
