Critic Reviews
-
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Its boilerplate fatalism undone by overbearing moralizing and the fact that Ryan's boxer is too one-dimensionally good to register as tragic.
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
This is one of the top boxing films ever made, along with Raging Bull and Body and Soul.
