Rumble Through the Dark

The movie's alright. Nothing so special about it but also it's not bad either. Since it's not a blockbuster or whatever I didn't put too much expectation on it so I feel like it's a decent one to just casually watch. Of course you are not getting crazy deep thoughts out of the movie. It tells a story and that's it, which for me is easy to understand (I haven't read the book, though).

There was action and fighting which I think was good enough with some being really nice, still I do need a little bit more action. The emotions were there and I appreciate that they tried to establish something but for me it's quite a bit over the top as it seems there was only a way to show the emotional connection so it kinda gets repetitive over time. Apart from that, everything else was fine, the characters had their roles, the color and lightning in some scenes were good which pleased my eyes.

Aaron Eckhart did his job well as always. The child actor (Michael A. Waycaster) was pretty good.

Solid 6.5 for me but props to some really nice scenes I'll give it a 7.

The only good thing in this is Aaron Eckhart, he was actually believable. The story from the get-go was very loose and dodgy. It starts with Jack (Aaron Eckhart) waking up after a fight, his memory is not very good and he has debts, so he's got to fight, sounds familiar?

The supporting cast was terrible, the editing and the dialogues were horrible, but I think for a low budget movie, it's what you can expect.

I'm not sure what someone like Aaron Eckhart is doing here, he was the Two-Faced Harvey in Nolan's Batman. I guess the times are really tough for him because all of his recent films are like this, crap.

And not even Aaron Eckhart is very good. Well, he is in a way but I sure do not believe in his character one bit. And the girl playing the Lady with tattoos is just plain a horrible actress. I think the only believable person / character is the Circus Director. The story is simple and the efforts to infuse this with "heartfelt moments" are just lengthy and tragic: In fact the whole middle part of the movie is more or less these slow and horribly boring heartfelt moments. The bare knuckle fighting that was advertised did not even try to be believable and in any case he constantly used brass knuckles.

So I see that my first review that I did of this rubbish movie got deleted. I wonder if this review will also be deleted.....

Most likely it was reported by the rubbish people who have given high ratings to this rubbish movie, the fools who have been involved in making this rubbish. So very pathetic of the filmmakers to take down my honest review.

Aaron Eckhart is a fun comedy actor, he has shown this countless times over the years. But that is not enough to be able to save this rubbish.

The movie is predictable, boring, the actors are talentless, the script is laughably bad.

I want to warn everyone not to watch this movie. Don't torture yourselves by wasting time on this useless movie.

Who would have thought that this adaptation was interesting to be carried out?

Who can think that Bella Thorne could act?

What wrong has Aaron Eckhart done to go from playing an iconic Batman character to this impossible to sustain parody in 15 years?

Surely these are questions that will never have answers.

This film, based on a book, deals with the life of a boxer from the underworld and his (not very credible) story of overcoming and suffering.

Gambler, alcoholic, absent father and addict, a combination that leads to a plot that is difficult to grasp wherever you try.

You can watch it in the background on a Saturday afternoon and not much more.

I return to one of my initial questions: what wrong has Aaron Eckhart done? At 56 years old, it seems that his career is over if he doesn't make some good decision regarding leading roles...
