Plot

Two boxers in Stockton, California, one on the way down and one on the way up.

Sinekatalog’s take

John Huston's gritty boxing drama follows two fighters, one fading and one rising, in dusty Stockton. Stacy Keach and Jeff Bridges are fine in a melancholy, lived-in portrait of losers and dreamers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
