Some great acting
YourAsst27 July 2005
I saw this short film, and it had some great production values. This is a gritty story of a struggling boxer and his overbearing father, who took part in a fixed fight killing his career. Now his son is a boxer, and faces the same decision in his life. Will his father give him the fix?

What strikes me as interesting was that, even though it's a familiar story, the production values were incredible as it felt like a major feature. The story is pretty much what you expect it to be-- they are breaking no new ground here.

Some of the performances where really good. Travis Aaron Wade is a future star -- what a powerful performance. He has this soft raspy voice that is rough, yet gentle. Robert Patric looks as crusty as ever.

This is a great introduction for the director. Must have been a really big budget for a short film.

very well done short film...feels like a feature! great production value, well written, acted, and directed. the director obviously cares about every facet of this production and it shows! I am really looking forward to seeing more for this director. had a dark, gritty feel, reminiscent of taxi driver or midnight cowboy and manages to reel the viewer in within a short period of time. Travis is electric while Robert plays the father with a commanding performance...he no longer deserves any references to the T2 movie we first met him in, he has grown so much as an actor and Kane does a great job of using this actor in his best light...everyone in this short film is very real and the story therefore impacts the viewer intensely...
