The acting in the beginning was horrible, but it got better as the movie progressed, but was never great.
I'm surprised they put Burt Reynolds in the credits at all, considering it was more of a cameo appearance as part of a flashback. They must have done that just to try to boost attendance as he was not an actual active character in the movie.
Loved the movie. Really entertaining and passionate acting. Story of an unlikely friendship. Recommend this for all to watch. I only wish the story had a bit more, I felt like it gave way in the middle but still giving it a 7, hopefully they will make a part two.
I thought the trailer was done well so I gave it a shot and it turned great. The actors are really talented and poured their hearts out in this film. Also a decent storyline with some nice cinematography kept me glued to the screen till the very end. Had that rocky feel to it.
Shame on you IMDb, to allow fake reviews for movies like this. It's obvious all those positive reviews have been written by staff, family, friends of actors that participated in this stinker. 7.7 for this piece of garbage, really? From the first minute you already have that nasty feeling you made a big mistake starting to watch this monstrosity. There is absolutely nobody that can act in this movie. They just put Burt Reynolds in the cast to attract people. He has about two lines and he looks like he's at the end of his life, ironically he was as he died not much later. If they would have at least took some real fighters from a boxing club or something, just to make the fights look interesting, but no even that was too much to ask. Nobody in this movie can fight, that's obvious, they couldn't beat my grandma. The scenes are terrible to watch. The script looks like it's been written by a five year old with a cerebral disease. Probably one of the worst movies I ever saw in my life. Avoid at all costs.
A predictable, timeworn plot. Hackneyed, shallow characters. Corny, banal script, all of which is dragged along by wooden, amateurish acting. The fight scenes are particularly embarrassing!
I did not want to see Burt Reynolds lend his talent to this quagmire of pointlessness, so I turned it off after 30 minutes, something I very rarely do.
How anybody can consider this a well-made film beggars belief!
