A Fighting Man
Two men prepare for a boxing match that will change their lives. One fights for redemption, and the other fights for change and hope. It’s a brutal five rounds, filled with cuts, bloody eyes!

Lee has drawn nicely underplayed performances from everyone, and there's probably an affecting movie somewhere in all its stories. As it is, A Fighting Man is a boxing film with a particular problem: It can't fill its broad canvas.

Irish guilt, redemption, opportunism, alcoholism ...writer/director Damian Lee puts all across with about as much nuance as a bruising left hook.
