No joke, one of the single worst movies I've ever seen. I came on here after I finished watching this rubbish fully expecting to see horrible reviews but somehow people liked this. This movie is unquestionably atrocious, it uses boxing as a front for a 65 year old man (who has a serious problem with sleeping pills and donuts) who has a thing for his prized boxing student Tommy.
On a side note, why do all white boxers have to be Irish? Just overly trite and clichéd.
We found ourselves praying the whole manlove thing wouldn't happen, but obviously it did. There is a grand total of about 1 minute of in-ring boxing action; I'm not sure if there is a single redeeming quality of this movie. Even if they had flashed the token hot chick girlfriend's boob I wouldn't feel like I wasted the whole hour and a half. I feel like a broken man after this film, I need to go take a shot.
Even in attempting to make a commentary about social issues it was a failure. I'm shocked that people enjoy this film, it belongs in the garbage. I hope everyone associated with this "film" comes down with a serious case of bubonic plague.
