New boxing movie: The Boxer

is this movie about a boxer?

lol goza, guess wouldn't be your kinda movie then travis..

What's it about? From the looks of the trailer this movie is about... A young man (let's call him Tony) who is released from prison, reluctantly. He has nowhere to go, and no family of his own. Tony is good at nothing, and worried about falling back into his own ways. One night after getting out of some trouble, he rests outside a building, where a man invites him in for some work. Tony realises this place is a boxing gym. He is hired as a janitor. It is clear Tony has many demons and starts taking it out on the heavybag. One night, the gym owner spots him and tells him he would make a good boxer. Tony refuses. Next day, the gym asshole, (lets call him Miguel) sees Tony cleaning up in the ring, and decides to bully him. Miguel beats the crap out of Tony, humiliating him for no reason. Later, Miguel's girlfriend arrives and Tony is instantly in love. She has a connection with Tony and they talk about things she couldn't with Miguel. Tony. feeling sorry for himself, begins to train as a boxer. Montage. Tony sees how Miguel can be abusive to his girlfriend, and Tony tries to intervene, unsuccesfully. Miguel's girlfriend goes on a date with Tony to talk, but they kiss. Tony works his way through some bums until Miguel is placed infront of him in the boxing ring. Tony and Miguel fight. Tony wins. Tony gets the girl. Tony is a complete man.

I already know the entire plot by watching that trailer. There's a mllion other movies like it.

I thought it looked ok but will be real predictable as most of these films are! The one with Wahlberg and Bale about Mickey Ward should be good!!

Is this a joke?

I thought it looked alright. Cheesy, but goddamn I'm comparing to that daniel day lewis movie. That movie was boring as all hell.

Punches like a sissy.

looks pretty terrible ...........There is already a film called the boxer with Daniel Day Lewis and its pretty damn good!!!! watch that instead.

Inspired by 24/7.

Looks pretty stupid!!!

That shit look whack.

thats wierd. there's a movie by that title about the life of mickey ward with christian bales and mark wahlberg: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0964517/ I would watch that, Wahlberg is a good actor as well as Bales.

that movie looks like shit

Movie looks horrible

When he was hitting that big guy with body shots it looked so retarded. There ain't no way I'm watching this shit. Yeah, they look weird.

By watching the trailer, both of them don't look like they even know how to punch correctly. At least with most other boxing movies the guys usually look good in the ring.

Very original name.

That plot looks so cliche.
