Leave your thoughts about Prizefighter: The Life of Jem Belcher.
| The GuardianPeter BradshawDespite the film’s historical interest, it plays like a Carry On film without the gags, and the way it is shot makes it look like a coffee commercial. |
| NMEJames MottramThere is the occasional nice detail – like the Jim Belcher figurines that go on sale when he becomes a household name. But Hookings’ screenplay lacks depth, the characters all largely one-note. |
| User ReviewJLuis_001In terms of craftsmanship, Prizefighter: The Life of Jem Belcher may not have had a big budget, but it doesn't look bad. Now, all that aside, the entire plot structure and trajectory fails to shake things up and get off the ground. The historic backdrop to the plot is interesting, but neither the director nor the actors succeed in making the film compelling. I've seen more lethargic stuff, but there is little here that can be considered thrilling and, as a result, it becomes something that goes nowhere. Second strike in less than a month for Russell Crowe. |
