It felt like bringing an alien component to the film would help take the American jingoism out of it. Peter Berg accessiblealienamerican share on social

I don't want to be knocked out. But the contact and the focus and the energy I get from sparring gives me energy to make movies, energy to be a dad, energy to be a friend, and, you know, makes me feel, probably, a lot younger and behave a lot younger than I am.
