CriticsCritics: 82

A struggling Philadelphia club fighter has spent years drifting through life without much recognition. When an unexpected chance puts him in the ring with the heavyweight champion, he takes on the challenge as an opportunity to prove his worth and see how far he can go.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like heartfelt underdog stories, character-focused drama, and a touch of romance alongside the boxing; Not for you if you want a fast-paced sports film centered mainly on fights.
