Review of Hands of Stone (2016) by Skeptic303 — 02 Oct 2016

I'm probably going to write a short review because I pretty much forgot what happened in this film. It is much more forgettable than it sounds and should sound on paper.

Hands of Stone, though having glimmers of great possibilities, fails it all in a run-of-the-mill, based-on-a-true-story movie that moves pretty slowly without much to focus on. Its characters are hollow (though in reality, they most likely weren't) and boxing movies like Southpaw prove that its narrative is cliché.

I will barely grant this major letdown a seal of expendability, but for a lack of a better suggestion, go watch Creed instead. Even if for me Creed isn't as great as many people think, it's way better and less disinteresting than this.
