It's tough to let go of something you love. And if that something is your job and it is everything to you - that is even tougher. But when is the right time to stop? Because the fire is there, so why not use it? And while this movie is not without its flaws, it does cling onto this idea of a boxer who could retire easily ... but he can't let go and he obviously still has the power and the drive.
Now he also has a family and kids. But it's obvious where his priorities lies. So our main character will not be the most likable one (to put it mildly), especially to those who can feel the pain those surrounding him. And then we throw in a boxer, a young female one, who ignites a different kind of fire in him. There is a connection (no pun intended) and she can throw a blow or two (no pun intended, but there is a lot of nudity in case you were wondering). So if you can see through it and dig into the core of what the movie is telling us, with a good sublime and subtle central performance, you will enjoy this
