That's what it is... a boxing movie where Meg Ryan plays a tough and smart promoter. You get the picture... and if you still don't, I'm afraid you gotta read the following.
If you do a bit research about the real Jackie Kallen, see Meg's been terribly miscast. She perhaps wanted to do a different type of role but here she does a rather disappointing job. The story is also somewhat predictable. Omar Epps and Tony Shalhoub did decent jobs though. In the end its the screenplay and perhaps Dutton's direction which failed it. The fight scenes are bland and are not passionate enough.
So, you better avoid this film. I respect the character Jackie Kallen. She should be given another opportunity.
