Movies

This movie had some great boxing scenes. The hits looked real and the cuts and bruises did too. The only problem with this movie was it was a little over two hours. Instead of flying to Las Vegas, they drove there. This led to over 40 minutes in the car (Nice car though). If the movie was 90 minutes, it would have been much better.A nice touch was the use of real boxing personality. For the casual fan, people would reconize George Foreman, Mike Tyson and other from HBO. It also had real cutmen and trainers in the corners. The director/writer does his research and the movie does show it.Still the movie is a 5 out of 10.

This film isn't much. Dumb plot, few laughs, and a good boxing bout between two men who were given a second chance to show the people that they got what it takes to become a champ. Neither of them walk away a winner- (predictable) but instead walk away with a newly improved friendship. This is surely a forgettable film, but doesn't fail to entertain. If you go to Blockbuster at 9:00 on a Friday night and 2/3's of their movies are rented out. Rent this one...Its good for a few laughs. 5.8/10

Let me first say that any movie in which Lucy Liu gets slugged by another woman can't be all bad. Lucy's ten minutes of screen time includes some of the raunchiest sex between her and Harrelson I've seen in a Hollywood film, ESPECIALLY between people in their clothes. That, and Davidovitch filling out that red dress is ABOUT all I remember about the movie (WAY too much silicone in the dream sequences). Actually, if boxing was exciting as depicted in the showdown at the end, EVERYBODY would watch and probably NOBODY would do it.BUT, 'schuse me, but WHERE'S the ENDING? More importantly, WHAT'S the POINT?
