At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

A nice done fictional documentary about some weird guy, whose wish was to become a boxer. It's not "FORGOTTEN SILVER" or "THIS IS SPINAL TAP", but for those who like that genre it's an acceptable choice. The humor set a little bit low, but the variety of colorful characters, who fit into the environment of the chosen background - as there were the box promoter, the trainer, the wife, the former girlfriends, the media - is providing an (slightly) entertaining viewing time for everybody. So give it a chance if you're tired of Hollywood made, tear shedding dramas.
