Common, non-thrilling boxing movie

Rating: 4/10 (16 December 2011)

I gave it a vote of 4 because I've seen this stuff before. This movie wasn't something you could consider a fighting movie, because the action is short and not shown.
This is a movie where the main character is trying to earn money by fighting in a ring. Thrill, action and suspense have been replaced by drama.
The plot is the fighter's relationship with his original family. And I don't think people who like drama will ever watch a boxing movie. There is no background provided for the people he's fighting. Our hero just goes and pummels his opponents and you're supposed to be impressed. This is an uninteresting movie. No thought was given to his opponents.
This is just about a poor guy trying to get money for his family, while resolving his issues with his father. Even the fight scenes are pitiful, you can't really see anything as far as the action goes.
I can't believe the IMDb score made me watch this crap. It's a drama. As anything else, it misses all points.
