Tried to hard to make a movie that has been made many times before. Just a self indulgent peice for Sam Upton. Write, star, and direct... ugh!

The movie is enjoyable but has its flaws. First the son Tommy "Gun" was a character in Rocky 5. Stallone tried to mentor Tommy Gunn. Do some research people. And a alcoholic , homeless fighter who hasn't fought in 20 years no way possible could be or get in the shape he was in a months time.

While this movie has problems, they are not really acting problems. But one can see that the script is amateurish, as is the filming. The movie drags the main character's shiftless alcoholism on too long. His son, Tommy, is vaunted as a boxing prospect, but apparently has never seen a punch he could not stop with his face. Actually, the boxing scenes in this movie are the worst I have ever seen. Clearly trying to emulate the Rocky films, the fights look almost prissy and idiotic. The repeated shot of a glove impacting the side a a boxer's face is done over and over again, each time worse and worse. Then the film ends abruptly, giving us no pay-off for hanging in through all this dreck!
