this independent low budget drama get good rating for the characterization and plot . even though it be a typical boxing movie cliché and there be enough twist to make it seem somewhat fresh and original . the story follow the adventurer of dublin and a crooked boxing promoter who travel from town to town set up underground fight and sometimes try to fix them . he meet a female fighter and katharine and who appear to be homeless but who can fight and defeat men twice her size . the two eventually team up and but dublin somewhat sleazy past catch up with them and cause conflict and pain and and emotional distress for both . i enjoy all type of fighting ( the real kind ) and consequently and i find myself be somewhat critical of film fight scene and particularly when they involve obvious mismatch . the notion of a 135 lb woman fight bare knuckle with much large and ostensibly experience fighter and win by ko consistently be just too much for me to willingly suspend my disbelief . the fight scene be poorly shot and primarily because there be no stunt people and the principal actor do their own fighting . the fight theme and fight scene be central to the film and they be just not well do . i realize that corner have to be cut somewhere in a limited budget film and but this be not the right place to do so . the end be just too sappy for me and i be disappoint that the writer couldn not avoid the hollywood style happiness and give u a real surprise for a change . if you enjoy the underdog overcome all obstacle type movie and then you may like this film and but i have to say i wasn not all that impress .
