Fresh out of prison, a smooth-talking hustler heads to a boxing-obsessed small town run by a powerful local boss and proposes a high-stakes wager.

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a witty, crowd-pleasing con-and-boxing mix with big personalities and steady laughs, in the spirit of The Sting; Not for you if you need realism or subtle drama.
Pros: fast, funny con setup; strong lead chemistry; entertaining boxing bouts | Cons: cheesy lines at times; some thin side plots; a bit predictable
