So-so underdog saga channels better fight films
“Back in the Day,&#34; set in the late 1980s and the present day, is the story about Anthony Rodriguez (portrayed by the film’s writer, William DeMeo), a half-Italian, half-Puerto Rican teenager growing up on the streets of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, then an area with an ample share of racists, bullies, and “social clubs,” where guys with ties to organized crime kept tabs on happenings in the neighborhood.<br /><br />After his mother (Annabella Sciorra, “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle”) dies and his father (Manny Perez, “El Cntante”) is run out of town, aspiring-boxer Anthony is taken under the wing of a mob boss (Michael Madsen, “Kill Bill”) and a tough-love trainer (Danny Glover, “Lethal Weapon”). When mob Don Gino Fratelli (Alec Baldwin, TV’s “30 Rock”) and his crew conspire to ruin his career, Anthony, his friend Matty (Joe D’Onofrio) and his girl (Shannen Doherty, “Beverly Hills 90210”) brace themselves for a tough, hard fight.<br /><br />“Back in the Day” draws elements from the “Rocky” movies, “Raging Bull,” and “Cinderella Man” — as well as lots of other fight flicks — in this melodramatic tale of a kid from a humble background trying to navigate the obstacles of a tough environment in his pursuit of a goal. Unfortunately, the film adds nothing innovative to an overly familiar narrative. The performances are merely routine, and the overused plot makes it hard to buy into the plight of Anthony, an amalgam of every cliched good-hearted movie underdog.<br /><br />There are no bonus features on the unrated widescreen Blu-ray release.
