Movies from which you did not expect anything and ended up becoming one of your favorite movies?

Just as the question says.

I ended up watching this movie when it was already halfway through (when Brendan asks Frank to participate in the tournament)

And seeing that it was a mixed martial arts movie, coupled with the great cast it had, I decided to give it a chance.

It turned out to be one of the best decisions I could make and to date it is one of my favorite movies, mainly because the whole martial arts thing is left a bit aside, when the real plot revolves around Brendan's family drama, Tommy, and his father Paddy.

What opinions do you have about it?
