Rating: 2/10
Robert De Nero is one of my favorite actors and he is a great actor. He
already won two Oscars and nominated for at least 5 times. This movie's
theme is boxing and this a biography movie. So my expectation was very
high and for me, it is a highly anticipated movie because Robert de
Nero starring Raging bull is also a boxing- themed movie which's
success is known by all. But this movie is pathetic. Total mess and
very poor performance by all the lead cast.
I think the biggest flaw of this movie is the script. very poorly
written and may be not researched well by its contents. It is a
biography movie and there are lots of opportunities to show plots and
subplots with interesting incidents. You have to choose the best true
incidents with transparent history, not the fantasy. But there are no
such things in this movie which will be interesting or transparent.
The most important thing of a sports biography movie is its twist or
the turning points which are completely missing in this movie. The
story writer surely missed the opportunities to show the actual
suspense and the originality. This is the story of Roberto Durán
Samaniego (born June 16, 1951), he is a Panamanian former professional
boxer regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time his nickname
is "Manos de Piedra" ("Hands of Stone"). He won many historic matches
and in these matches, there are lots of thrill and suspense. At least
15 incidents in his life are happened which are turning points of his
career and for his life also. I cannot spoil this and cannot reveal for
the known reason. The script and the screenplay are written in a very
lazy way and they missed these incidents. The direction is not up to
the mark and the director completely failed to maintain the pace which
is very important for a biographical drama movie. The script is poorly
written and at least 5-6 times I failed to follow the subplot. Content
could have been better and the theme is very confusing for realizing
and several subplots created over the top impacts.
Watch at your own risk and It will be good if you expect nothing from
this biographical drama.
