We all have ups and downs; we don't have control over life's force of nature, and neither on humanity. We can only do our best in our own time...
Last night I watched this ::
Great performance by
Jake Gyllenhaal. He's improving his acting skills more and more with each film...I like him a lot.
Sure, we've seen similar stories in the past, and in real-life too, on TV, and like in football...CTE is very real, even more so in boxing.

The director,
Antoine Fuqua, I love his films...his realistic vision...his storytelling style...raw and unedited.
I can relate to this film's message...big time, and I truly enjoyed it, immensely.
My own personal rating score (overall):
79.5 (and technically - visuals and music score & tunes & sound design - it complemented the onscreen action perfectly).
Last word: I recommend it, even if deja vu because of Jake's impressive performance, and the supporting cast. ...A very good film, packing a real punch.
It's up there. Take charge...raise your children well...give them true love.
