A modern retelling of the norse mythology. Fr. Mike (Wes Studi) has hidden a piece of Thor's hammer from Lok-eye, a viking warlock. Lok-eye kidnaps three children every spring and forces their mothers to find his prize. The only one immune to the Warlock's powers is Eric Thornton, called The Ugly One since he was a child. Eric only wants to win The Steel Gloves, an all out fight contest with a prize trip away from the madness. Fr.Mike must convince Eric to defeat the Warlock and save the very people who have treated him so cruelly his whole life. Eric Thornton has been called The Ugly One by everyone in his town since he was 10. Now he is the only one who can save them from a Viking Warlock searching for a lost piece of Thor's hammer. I saw an advanced screening of The Ugly One. The beginning is impressive. It combines exciting music, cinematography and an interesting legend. In the rest of the film, the director and actors deliver both suspense and comic relief. The production itself was huge, set in a steel factory, with lots of extras, some very cool fight scenes, and intense stunts. The film also features name actor, Wes Studi. As they continue to tweak the film it will get even better. Detroit is lucky to have this independent filmmaker. I hope this talented man is making more movies…Pat Moug and the "Ugly One" is one heck of a film… We need more "from the heart" film makers like Moug!!!! I believe the talent pool here, in Detroit, is totally untapped… Pat's vision and his movies need our support…. The effort, emotion and heart in the "Ugly One" is showed throughout the film. I really like the music and the way is flows throughout the movie, as well. I am impressed with Moug's ability to find actors like himself, who make movies for the love of the craft… Moug is helping Police and Firefighters. Moug is donating his film in an effort raise money for those families of our fallen HEROES!!! PLEASE…Support Moug and his visions. I do.
