Featured review
I never really liked John L. I hadn't seen him in many serious roles at the time. I didn't expect much but was very surprised.
If you have ever done any boxing yourself or honestly know the sport I think you'll enjoy this film. It was a little different from the average "ROCKY" boxing films we've gown to love. Much more raw and the fight scenes are REALISTIC which you won't find in the ROCKY films. The Rocky film's had heart but this film seem's to have testicles. Possibley John's best performance to date. It was just a boxer's story up to a point. He won't steal your heart but you will get an inside look at the sport. The best sport in the world get's over looked too often but John seemed to get it. Maybe you can too?
Check this one out!
