Rimbomba nel buio

And not even Aaron Eckhart is very good. Well, he is in a way but I sure do not believe in his character one bit. And the girl playing the Lady with tattoos is just plain a horrible actress. I think the only believable person / character is the Circus Director. The story is simple and the efforts to infuse this with "heartfelt moments" are just lengthy and tragic: In fact the whole middle part of the movie is more or less these slow and horribly boring heartfelt moments. The bare knuckle fighting that was advertised did not even try to be believable and in any case he constantly used brass knuckles.

It's a movie that has a mediocre plot and doesn't promise anything to the audience. A more emotional drama could have been created with this subject. Characters pattern comedy. It is not taken seriously. Still, for those who are interested in fight movies like me, it is watched with curiosity until the end.

There is a man who was abandoned by his mother in his childhood, later abandoned by his adoptive people, and only one woman gave him love in every situation. This guy is trying to make money by fighting for something or at the gambling table. He tries to protect the money he earns at the expense of his life. But sometimes his memory fades and he loses the money. The reason he's so worried about money is that he sold his mother's house so he can get it back. Like a little child, the man still longs for the woman he calls mother. I'm telling you, a much more dramatic movie could have been made.

There is no nudity in the movie, but there is some light sexuality.

I really don't have much to say about this one but the fact that so many are giving it bad reviews is why I am writing this so that it can boost the ratings.

Like alot have said, it's not an A list movie. There's nothing extra ordinary here. It's just a simple story of an ex fighter turned drunk who owes big momma and has to find a way to pay back. That's it.

However, unlike most people, I think it's a beautiful picture. I loved most of the acting and there were a few moments of laughter. I wouldn't say it's an amazing movie, but I won't rubbish it either. Just a good ol Sunday afternoon kinda movie.

Who would have thought that this adaptation was interesting to be carried out?

Who can think that Bella Thorne could act?

What wrong has Aaron Eckhart done to go from playing an iconic Batman character to this impossible to sustain parody in 15 years?

Surely these are questions that will never have answers.

This film, based on a book, deals with the life of a boxer from the underworld and his (not very credible) story of overcoming and suffering.

Gambler, alcoholic, absent father and addict, a combination that leads to a plot that is difficult to grasp wherever you try.

You can watch it in the background on a Saturday afternoon and not much more.

I return to one of my initial questions: what wrong has Aaron Eckhart done? At 56 years old, it seems that his career is over if he doesn't make some good decision regarding leading roles...

So I see that my first review that I did of this rubbish movie got deleted. I wonder if this review will also be deleted.....

Most likely it was reported by the rubbish people who have given high ratings to this rubbish movie, the fools who have been involved in making this rubbish. So very pathetic of the filmmakers to take down my honest review.

Aaron Eckhart is a fun comedy actor, he has shown this countless times over the years. But that is not enough to be able to save this rubbish.

The movie is predictable, boring, the actors are talentless, the script is laughably bad.

I want to warn everyone not to watch this movie. Don't torture yourselves by wasting time on this useless movie.
