    From all the reviews, it doesn't look good at all. A few positive ones here or there. But mostly meh or negative.

    You should put this in the movie section.

    But yeh i seen this yesterday and it was a lot better then i initially thought it would be, it had boxing movie cliches but it also some original and great moments i will probably watch it again sometime in the future

    It has an A on cinemascore, from what I've seen it was slammed for its cliches

    I'll admit I know basically nothing about this movie, but if it's the kinda movie I think it is (boxer has some struggles, looks like he's done for and then by some 'miracle' goes on to win the big fight) then I have zero interest in that boring storyline or seeing the movie.

    I saw it last night, I enjoyed it. Jake does a great job and so does Forest Whitaker.

    Most storylines for these movies are like that @Kon I agree. This one's slightly different in the sense that
    He's undefeated 43-0 then an up and comer's entourage ends up shooting and killing his wife in an altercation, he loses everything he owns and custody of his daughter. He goes to a trainer of a boxer he feels beat him even though he won the fight. That trainer trains him on how to fight defensively thus changing his style. He was always great (as he was undefeated) but the change in style makes him a much better fighter.

    In the spoiler tag it pretty much gives the outline of the movie.
