What did this story want to tell?

Rating: 3/10 (20 August 2006)

I did not get it. Frankie has lost fighters because he never let them fight for titles. And when he finally does, it goes to H***. What did that tell him and us? Never fight for titles?
He has a daughter but that story never leads anywhere. The mails are returned to sender all through the movie.
He goes to church and see a priest that is unwise and unkind and that does not develop either.
Until we meet Maggies mother I thought that Frankie was her father, why else would she stick to him?
And then Maggie breaks her neck and is paralyzed. That does not lead anywhere either. And again, what was that supposed to tell us? That fame has its price?
The only thing interesting in this movie is Maggies relation with her mother.
