The back stories make the fights more engaging. If it weren't for the back stories this movie would be just another action/sports movie, and thrown into the likes of the Undisputed franchise. Horrible critic on a fantastic movie.

We don't even know what the back story is about. Loose details are given that do nothing to fill the viewer in on what happened. We don't know enough about the relationship between the brothers. One left with the mom and the other didn't and that was it, therefore there is some profound emotional connection the viewer is supposed to take from it. No. Don't know anything about the dad or why they hate him besides he was a drunk and a vet.
The back story is totally inadequate and empty.

Wow, do you need a picture painted for you? Many of the things you needed to know were in the dialogue and the attitudes of the character. I only ran down some quick things off top my head and they're definitely some fleshed out characters.
-Dad was a drunk, abusive, vet, fighter, trainer, who favored the younger son in sporting events at the least. He is also very strict in training and didn't like no lip. He was a drunk because of his experience as a vet. Trying to correct his life, most likely after what he did to Brendan, and has stayed sober for 3 years. He is now seeking forgiveness from both his sons and wishes to know his granddaughters after his other son who he has not spoken to in over a decade.
-Brendan was the oldest son who wanted to be favored for once but was still neglected after, Tommy and his mother left. He grew up with a violent drunk who did something to Brendan's family (most likely abuse). Brendan's father was after the incident ordered to stay 1000 feet away from Brendan's family. Brendan also wanted to patch things up with Tommy but did not when he had the chance choosing to be with his girlfriend/wife/family.
-Tommy was over worked by his father who trained him. His mother and him were probably abused when the father went into his drunken stupor. He and his mother left expecting Brendan to come but Brendan stayed. His mothers health declines and Tommy watches his mother slowly die as they lived in poverty. Tommy joins the army but his friend dies. Tommy is angry at his brother who didn't leave with him, Father who never acted like a father, army that left him for dead.
