In addition to Gyllenhaal playing UFC fighter-turned-Florida Keys highway bouncer Elwood Dalton, the cast features Daniela Melchior, Billy Magnussen, Jessica Williams, Joaquim de Almedia, McGregor, Lukas Gage, Arturo Castro, BK Cannon, Beau Knapp and Darren Barnet.
The boycott of the director of El duro on his own film
