Popular reviews
This is one of the worst films I've ever seen.
The fight choreography is horrendous and given that this borrows so heavily from Rocky you'd think that aspect would at least be passable
I laughed out loud 3 times at the soundtrack
Even the synopsis on this site is a hot mess
A weak script really holds this movie back.
the only highlight - 'music by Sidney James'.
Regardless of how small your budget is, is your making a boxing movie where sparring and actual matches account for nearly 30% of your runtime, you have put significant time and thought into how your going to shoot and edit the boxing scenes. If the boxing was better, this world still be a bad movie, but seeming lack of effort and interest in depicting the boxing in a believable, interesting, or stylish way felt disrespectful.
