I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

When I heard that this movie was coming out I was very excited to get the full story of an Australian Muay Thai Fighter. After the movie had finished I was even more excited to find that JWP was a regular guy who followed a dream. JWP and those who believed in him were so inspiring and moving. Dreams can be achieved, JWP's determination was exhilarating. It was wonderful to be able to ask questions after the movie. What a humble and down to earth person JWP is, that was truly refreshing! Thank you JWP for sharing your story. If Muay Thai interests you, then check out "Blessed with Venom". It is great to see an Aussie surviving and succeeding in a sport from a different culture. JWP I love your work.

I saw this documentary at the Gold Coast premiere and was blown away. The cinema was packed and John Wayne Parr was there. He signed posters and posed for pictures for hours. The film is a look at his life and career and what an inspirational story it is. He is humble and gracious but with a fierce determination to win. We see his time in Thailand and meet his Thai mentor. We also see JWP in fight action and he is just so aggressive and courageous. There is just so much heart to this film. Funny, moments of sadness and thrilling success. I loved this film and so did the premiere audience. I also saw this film as a metaphor for life. No matter how many times it knocks you down, you get back up and keep fighting. I recommend everyone go and see it.

I was very lucky to attend an advanced screening of this documentary and what a delight it was. This insight into Muay Thai superstar John Wayne Parr is honest, inspiring and a tribute to one of the sport's greats. We see Parr in Thailand and his humble beginnings, China and his star status and his home in Australia. Former opponents are also featured and their level of respect for Parr is quite amazing. Needless to say, the fight footage is pulse racing and adrenalin charging excitement. Kudos must also go to the film makers who piece together a coherent and quite brilliant tome to a genuine Australian hero, John Wayne Parr.
