Outstanding boxing movie.
First-rate.
One of the best movies I have seen in a long time.Interesting characters and a great story.
surprised - really good movie - thought it would be just alot of boxing - but good storyline.
A surprisingly effective film, based on a true story, with standout performances from the entire cast. It takes us into the gritty world of pro boxing as a pair of brothers, one, potentially on the decline, his confidence shattered by a severe beating with a man he should not have been fighting, the other a crack addict, on the path to jail, who in very different ways find the strength within themselves to alter the course of their lives and become better men in the process. What could have been a film filled with cliche, instead is an often brilliant study of a world few really understand, where two men stand toe to toe beating one another until one falls down. Very few films have ever
This is a stunning and emotionally disturbing movie with awesome and realistic characters and a telling and true story.
