  Doesn’t totally work. Missing one great emotional beat to elevate beyond being less than the sum of its parts.

  One of the great openings. In the same way that only Nixon could open China, only a self-professed man opposed to boxing (and sport) could make this kind of film. American cinema turns on this being a success and we’re all better for it.
