With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for anyone who loves an underdog and crime fans. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more. Sits nicely alongside The Asphalt Jungle.
- The mood
- Dark and gritty.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 12 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1949: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A gangster's girl loves a one-eyed boxer who is framed for robbery.
