A bit over-rated!

Rating: Null/10 (1 March 2000)

I agree with some other people who've reviewed this movie that it's a bit over-rated. There's no doubt that the direction and acting is excellent, but I wasn't impressed by the story. The end dragged a bit. I can't help but make a few comparisons with 'Goodfellas' because it had the same Director and actors. I feel it was a better movie. The boxing sequences were very well done. I would give this movie a 6 1/2 on 10.
