The pacing feels tight; you can almost feel the clock ticking with him as he scrambles for solutions. The atmosphere is heavy, laden with a sense of desperation but also a glimmer of hope. The boxing subplot isn’t just a gimmick; it’s almost symbolic, showcasing his fight against the odds. The performances are raw and believable. You get the sense that everyone involved had something to say, even if the director isn't a household name. It’s a film that reflects the struggle of many, and it does so without glamorizing the fight.
