Hands of Stone

Great movie!!! I watched the actual fights after the movie, as well did some research. Very accurate movie. A real must see.

Nice movie, Really enjoyed it!

A fairly solid biopic, Hands of Stone tells the story of professional boxing champion Roberto Duran. While rising through the ranks Panamanian boxer Roberto Duran teams up with legendary manager Ray Arcel to help him win a championship, leading to a rivalry with welterweight champion “Sugar” Ray Leonard. Starring Edgar Ramírez, Usher Raymond, Robert De Niro, and Ana de Armas, the film has a solid cast that delivers some good performances. However, the script doesn’t really develop Duran all that well, or make him all that sympathetic. And the plot more or less follows the standard formula for a sports film; with a rise, a fall, and a comeback. Still, Hands of Stone is entertaining and even a little inspirational.

The film's well made, tho while the true story behind it is faintly inspiring, this is still another boxing drama that holds few surprises.
