Not a boxer's story, but a writer's. I left feeling blah. Jackson was exceptional but the story lacks punch. As a film about the homeless it may have worked but... Full Review

This is a wonderful movie. I think it may be Samuel L. Jackson's finest performance....in fact, he is definitely Oscar worthy for this unforgettable role! Hartnett is excellent too, but... Full Review
