8/10
A gritty and moving documentary
26 November 2005
Warning: Spoilers
The story is about a prize fighter trying to come to grips with a tragic incidence in which he played a part as well as the other lives affected by that tragedy.

I think anyone interested in boxing, or possibly general American sports history, would appreciate this fine film. Emile is a very likable man whose seemingly unlikely fate was to become a world champion boxer.

All the players in this drama come off as open and sincere and their words resound with the ring of truth.

It's been a long time since I watched a movie twice as I did with this one.
