Is Box just like that? Dirty gross hits?

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2006)

I think the movie is great. Great story, great characters. But there is a HUGE problem with this movie. But I mean, real real real HUGE problem. And I am so astonished that guys like Clint Eastwood couldn't see that.
I'm talking about the fight Maggie had with Billie 'The Blue Bear'. If that was a REAL fight, the Blue Bear would have been disqualified after the first elbow hit in Maggies face. And you will notice that when the Blue Bear releases the knocking-down punch on Maggie, the bell had already been rang. So, it's totally pointless letting this go. Box is not like that, it's no elbow punch and other disastrous things. So it's were the film really screws up everything. It could have been perfectly realistic if Maggie had just been injured as in a normal fight.
Almost a perfect work, and yes, it's overrated.
