"Tae Sik, a troubled middle aged man and Sang Hwan, a troubled youth will meet in the ring with their respective mission. To change their life. " imdb
A decent boxing film from a place you'll least expect a movie about boxing. Other critics say this is the film that made Ryoo Seung-Bum stand out as an actor. Truthfully his scenes slightly bored me, I felt like he was overacting in some parts.
This film takes a different storytelling technique but completely telling each boxers side before the fight so you don't really know who to root for. I have to say the film lacks to deliver a true solid punch, I probably will never see this film again. After saying that I feel like a lot of characters were un-necessary since they were not written into the storyline all that well.
Fact: I am a fan of Choi Min-Sik, he is one of my favorite actors.
2/5
