Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Rated: 4/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Ella Taylor L.A. Weekly Salita is such a careful, reined-in fellow that one comes away wanting to have seen much more of the men around him. Apr 10, 2008 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter While it might have made for an intriguing segment on a television newsmagazine show, doesn't sustain itself over the course of a feature-length film. Feb 14, 2008 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Film-Forward.com Personable, singular young welterweight makes the audience, and a colorful array of mentors and supporters, believe boxing is the sweet science %u2013 you just gotta have faith. Rated: 7/10 Dec 23, 2008 Full Review Ron Wilkinson Monsters and Critics The fastest and best boxing action around plus a candid look inside the fight business make this a great film for aficionados of the sport. But there is not a lot there for most others. Rated: 7/10 Feb 6, 2008 Full Review Gabe Leibowitz Film and Felt Hutt's shoddy editing and listless pacing keep the audience regrettably detached from the proceedings. Rated: 33/100 Feb 4, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
