So clumsy, feels like comedy, without the funny lines.
Main actor better concentrate on sports than acting.
Total waste

I really like boxing movies, so when I read the summary and saw the cast I thought this was going to be a pretty good flick...I watched the whole movie, but never really got into it.The boxing lead didn't come off as a very good actor and I had a lot of trouble buying Shannen Doherty as the love interest he spent so long pining away for. I'm sure they are close in actual age, but Doherty looks like she's in her mid 50's in this movie and she's not in very good shape, which made the flashbacks to when they younger look kind of weird.I think the screenplay itself was probably fine, this movie just needed a slightly different cast along with better directing...

I knew this movie wasn't going to be a classic before I watched it, so my expectations were low going in. The opening scenes were actually quite promising. I'm a sucker for nostalgia and for the whole plucky underdog made good thing. However, this movie didn't work for me. The plot is thick with the worst kind of tropes. I mean, really thick. I'd love to say it was so bad, it was good... But it really wasn't. I'd skip this one if I were you. Its not rocky and it's not good- fellas. It has a MOTW feel. I believe the main actor also wrote it. I wonder if he funded it too? I can't understand how it would have got made otherwise. There are some good actors in there, but they're under utilised and don't make any impact. There's even a surprise cameo towards the end. I won't spoil it, but it's laughable. By that point, after cliché on top of cliché, the scene just felt self indulgent.

Back in the Day shows a glimpse into Brooklyn circa 80's. On the streets not only making a name for one's self, Rodriguez is able to over come the odds, with both perseverance and triumph. I found myself rooting in favor and stoked with the wins. Well done.I'm inspired. William De Meo shows what hard work and keeping it moving is all about. Chris De Meo's performance had an air of dignity that was exciting to watch. I'm looking forward to seeing more from West Street Productions.
