I hated Sonny
I felt nothing for the boxer Sonny. He was arrogant, he had no charm, manners, charisma or personality, and he cheated on his wife, and even cheated in the boxing ring. How the hell could you have sympathy for a character like this? Why make a movie about a boxer who is not likeable?
And what made it even worse - the boxing scenes were the most terrible I've ever seen in a boxing movie. I didnt know who was punching who. They were shot in a crappy MTV video style.
