terrible... so disappointed.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Woa, talk about awful. Do not waste your time. I wish I had seen the other use comments first. I have to admit, I didn't watch the whole thing. It was just too horrible. The worst, sappiest dialogue... I could go on and on. But what really made it unwatchable was the direction. The poor actors. You can't even tell if they have any talent because they not only have pathetic lines to speak but the director gave them no action. If you check the director's filmography on this site you will see why this film didn't have a chance. This would not even be good as a made for TV flick. Ouch!

This movie was a complete waste of time. The soundtrack was bad, story was lame and predictable, and the acting was terrible. One of the worst 25 movies I have ever seen. After the first ten minutes, the rest of the film was completely obvious.

It's about time for a female boxing flick, but this one ain't it. Though the acting isn't too bad, the predictable storyline and silly dialogue pretty much ruin this one from the get go. To top it off, the boxing scenes display zero tension. Come on! How hard is it to make a boxing match seem exciting??!!

This movie doesn't just drag out every hoary old cliche of boxing movies... it hangs each one up like a gong and beats the heck out of it. It's kind of mind-boggling that such a movie could be made in 2000 apparently in all seriousness... and I didn't detect the slightest trace of irony (or indeed any form of humour or self-awareness) anywhere in this picture. The only "original" thing in Knockout is that The Kid is here a girl rather than a boy... but basically precious little is made of that. This could serve as an example of how not to make a movie about female boxers. I suppose in technical film-making terms and in acting it's a reasonably competent riff on the old tunes... but lawdy they are old tunes. Recommended only if you've never seen a boxing movie before (or, I guess, if you absolutely can't get enough of them).
