Mark Kerr is winning early mixed-martial-arts fights and losing the days between them. Safdie stays close to the body and the girlfriend who has to live with the come-down. Dwayne Johnson plays Kerr without the movie-star grin. Emily Blunt’s Dawn is not only the person in the corner. The A24 trailer is the ring and the pharmacy. The film is about a champion whose sport does not yet know how to hold him.
