Critic Reviews:
- " Jake Gyllenhaal floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee in an Oscar-quality performance! " – Kam Williams
- " This is a genre movie that has a lot in common with ‘Rocky’ but with better performances. The boxing scenes are outstanding in this film, but it is the character interactions that make the movie. : – Robert Roten
- " A conventional movie that stands out thanks to Gyllenhaal's performance. " – Adrián Ruiz
