Against the Ropes meanders until it gets to the final third of its running time, and then it catches fire.Full Review
It succeeds in many of the ways a sports movie should, and, by employing a slightly different viewpoint for most of the production, manages a sense of freshness.Full Review
Some of the performances show flashes of idiosyncrasy and flair that are nearly snuffed out by the pedestrian script.Full Review
Though the movie is more mediocre than abysmal, Ryan's recently banged-up filmography (remember In the Cut) could use what every fighter needs at ringside: a good cut man to stop the bleeding.Full Review
By the end, everything that was initially serious about the film becomes silly and everything appealing about it turns sour.Full Review
