Monkey Man
One small ember can burn down everything.
Kid is an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Just one element
Enjoyed movie overall. To oversimplify: a primary element was espousing the third gender in Indian culture. A character in this ‘gender group’ helped the main character. Upon his recovery, their sect (of non-conforming males) cheered and lusted after the main character as he trained shirtless. There was also pro genderless / M to F dialogue interspersed in the movie, but you get the idea.
