A really nice guy movie. Some language, very few sexual overtones, great boxing sequences. Great guy movie to watch with a younger audience or with a girlfriend. OR just a great movie for a lady into boxing! Louis Gossett Jr. is great. He portrays his character of an aging boxing ringer very well. He was in pretty good shape and whoever was fight choreographer (probably Benny "the jet" Urquidez) did a really nice job of showing some intricacies of old school "dirty boxing".
James Wood and Oliver Platt are hilarious as a pair of con men.
Bruce Dern is, as always, a villain you love to hate.
it has a serious tone, but with the occasional joke to keep this film from becoming tense.
i'd recommend it to anyone that likes a good fight movie. its not high theater, but it sure is entertaining.
