About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grounded, character-first sports drama with a tender romance and a gritty gym vibe; Not for you if you only want nonstop fights or a glossy crowd-pleaser like Redbelt.
Pros: tough coming-of-age energy; touching romance angle; strong lead performance | Cons: familiar sports-movie beats; uneven acting at times; quieter than expected
