Russell Crowe's New MMA Action Movie 'Beast' Gets Digital Streaming Release

Russell Crowe crafted his own MMA version of Rocky earlier this year with Beast, which has now been given a digital streaming release date via Lionsgate. While the sexagenarian Gladiator star and Academy Award winner doesn’t step into the ring like Sylvester Stallone did in Rocky Balboa, he does play a key role both in front of and behind the camera, with Beast landing a knockout 86% on Rotten Tomatoes and becoming one of the rare must-see MMA action movies.
