Dr.J Good performances, not your typical "Rocky" story. More realistic as to the desires, means and consequences of being a fighter. It was a bit too repetitive in making its point -- the length an aging boxer will go to in order to have his last hurrah -- and so it got a bit tedious. Otherwise, interesting and reccomended.

It’s more of a psychological thriller. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/10/25 Full Review A.L.Jude P Where was this heading ? Could have been a good feelgood movie yet ended with empty hand! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/08/25 Full Review Shadow L Flat out Horrible. Don't spend your money Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/25 Full Review Patrick C Orlando Bloom plays an Irish boxer who missed his opportunity at greatness during a title fight due to his traumatic upbringing. 10 years later and now teaching boxing to his local youth, he's granted the opportunity at a title fight when a fellow boxer passes away. However, with only 6 days to cut 26 pounds, he becomes desperate, ignoring the advice of his team and enlists Boz (John Turturro) to help him get under the agreed upon weight of 154 pounds before the weigh-in. A boxing film that isn't a boxing film but rather shows the dangers more competitive fighters are having to resort to in order to meet weight demands. It's a story that's becoming more common with the margin of error shrinking and the consequences potentially deadly. Bloom plays his most physically demanding role to date. He's in arguably the best shape of his life but for most of the film, carries on as an exhausted zombie. Not fully aware of his surroundings and prone to hallucinations. It's insane to think fighters go to these lengths in order to meet their weight and then turn around and have to fight at these types of physical exhaustion levels. Turturro plays the role of Boz wonderfully: a no nonsense trainer who calmly tells you how it's going to be without any emotional involvement. He's a drill sergeant without the yelling. A manipulative motivator without having to use the stick in order to gain acceptance of his ideas. However, while I applaud a light being shown onto the dangers of these types of actions, as a film, it ultimately plays as a dry and at times, redundant film. Probably some of Bloom's and Turturro's best work that'll either quickly be forgotten or not viewed at all.

I thought it was about boxing, but it turned out to be about weight loss instead. Orlando Bloom’s performance is amazing, but overall, the movie didn’t meet my expectations.
