Bodybuilder with genius IQ moves to LA, aims to beat rival using science over steroids. Faces gym culture, juicers. Targeted by sports nutrition company. Pursues "Mr. West Coast" title to validate ideas.
“This film is a unique blend of brains and brawn, pitting a scientifically-minded bodybuilder against the steroid-saturated gym underworld. Its sharp critique of fitness fads lands punches, though some subplots feel underdeveloped and the ending's moralizing is unearned. A compelling, if flawed, flex of intellect over raw muscle.”
Fans of underdog stories, sports dramas with a unique twist, and critiques of modern fitness culture will find this film engaging.
