Review of Play It to the Bone (1999) by Bellaray ? — 11 Aug 2007
How much you enjoy this film will depend on a few variables - your tolerance for the cinematic stylings of Harrelson and Banderas, your affinity for pro boxing, and your love of violence in sport. It's often been said that there's a certain poetry to boxing, an art form in which the medium is blood and fists, but this film, for all of its slow-motion camera work, doesn't exactly evoke comparisons to ballet.
I can't say that the acting is magnificent, because the actors don't act as much as they simply exist. It was like staring at nothing for 124 minutes.
