The hard times of poor white fighters in California provide the background for this brilliant, unflinching and sorely overlooked masterpiece by director John Huston. Stacy Keach is Tully, a down-on-his-luck alcoholic boxer earning money as a field worker while trying for a comeback. Tully tries to pass his wisdom on to Ernie (Jeff Bridges), his 18-year-old protégé, attempting to give the kid the chances he missed.

"1.8. Blu-ray Nyrkkeilystä en vieläkään juuri tajua, mutta sen asema amerikkalaisessa sielunmaisemassa kiinnostaa. John Hustonin nyrkkeilyelokuva voisi onneksi kertoa yhtä hyvin vaikka curlingista. Vallan mainiota kuvaa meneteyistä mahdollisuksiista ja tulevaisuuksista, ihmiskohtaloista ja ihan ihmisistä. Realistinen, nimenomaan ihmisläheinen ilmaisu ja etenkin avoin loppu ovat ihan kuin elämää."

"Gritty drama from John Huston, with Stacy Keach as a down-on-his-luck former boxer who wants to make a comeback while Jeff Bridges plays a young man wanting to start out in the sport. Although a movie about boxing, it's not really about the boxing but about lives of two different people in a tough world where there are no prisoners. Keach is magnificent as is Susan Tyrell as the woman who lives day to day inside a bottle."
