The weakest of punches

The Challenger (2015)

Written, directed by and starting Kent Moran this film also features Michael Clarke Duncan in his final film role. A young mechanic wants to earn extra money by taking up boxing.

To mix metaphors this is an undercooked paint by numbers boxing movie that is essentially a poor imitation or Rocky. The plot is neither convincing nor works in terms of character arcs. I suppose the direction is not too bad but does nothing to stand out in a very crowded genre.

2/5
