Review of Hands of Stone (2016) by Yosemite — 29 Aug 2016
Its a B movie. Director couldn't decide if the focus of the film should be on Duran , his manager , his tempestuous marriage or Panama's relationship with the U.S..C ..Casting was questionable . DeNiro hasn't made a good movie in 20 years.
All he offers now are the DeNiro facial expressions. John Tortoro poor choice as a gangster and Ellen Barkin cast against type as an older wife. The girl playing Duran's wife was good. Bad pacing, too many closeups of the actual fights scenes and a jumpy story line.
