A wonderfully entertaining, raunchy, hilarious and savage foray into the lives of a couple of beat-up middle-weight boxers who get a second chance.
Fghting your heart out at the end of this movie can't win the prize or the crowd.

Report
Benefits from an amiable chemistry between Harrelson and Banderas, and Davidovich always makes a good tough-as-nails dame with more smarts than any man will give her credit for.
This is no "Raging Bull."
As dopey as its heroes, and the cast's admirable energy isn't enough to keep the story punching through the final round.
A woefully under-realized story of small-time boxers enjoying perhaps their last moment in the spotlight.
****
