Uninspiring

Rating: 4/10 (28 July 2015)

This is not a boxing movie. It's based in the world of boxing but it's nothing to do with the real story.Redemption I suppose but also standing up to all the challenges life throws at you.For me the director tried too hard to muster up a broody feel which overstretched me and made me feel as though I was just waiting for something good to happen. I was surprised at the acting in this,,seemed a bit wooden at times by everybody involved and very few outside sequences made it feel a bit enclosed. Nowhere near as good as I was led to believe by all the rave reviews. A lot of the plot evaporated as it went along and there seemed to be no narrative to hold attention and move the story on. Cannot recall a stand out moment you would expect from a film if this ilk either.Another thing that no good was the soundtrack..very annoying at times and over used. Overall unimpressed and uninspiring with not even a great performance from the crew.
