| Mr. ShowbizOther (Specify)Complaints? None, except perhaps a wish for more length, and a little more depth. |

| San Francisco ExaminerG. Allen JohnsonA movie that features rich Mexican American characters and an uncompromising story line is always timely. |
| Portland OregonianShawn LevyPrice of Glory won't make anyone forget "Raging Bull" or "Rocky." |
| Philadelphia InquirerDesmond RyanHollywood keeps turning out boxing movies. Price of Glory is the latest to step into the ring and face an increasingly no-win situation |
