That was an excellent one.

Did you people see the same film I saw?

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

As a boxing fan in the 80s, this was a great return to the 80s genre. Granted, the special effects are not what they could be today, but the movie was still fantastic. For a fun trip down memory lane watch this movie. My only question is, where did Carlos Palamino go? Has anyone seen him? They should make a Fist of Steel two and add Oscar DeLaHoya. That would be a stretch. Also, if you are a Henry Silva fan you will like this one. I first became a fan of Silva in that Steven Segal movie, I think it was Above The Law. Anyway, this is a great movie if you want to see a real life action hero, not one of these phony guys who have never been in a real fight. I mean, come on, Carlos Palamino? You can't get any better than that.
