      ashley h Play It to the Bone is a disappointing film. It is about two best friends and former middleweight contenders who travel to Las Vegas to fight each other for the first time.. Woody Harrelson and Antonio Banderas give horrible performances. The script is badly written. Ron Shelton did a terrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Its a good movie to watch when your board. I like the characters but not much happens and then it ends. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member entertaining and fun movie.sure could've been better,but I wasn't displeased when it ended-fully appealing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A handful of chuckles and an entertaining final fight make Play It To The Bone just barely worth a watch. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review william s Would have been OK as a short subject but not as a full length movie. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member another sports/boxing pic-yawn. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
