Full Plot Details

Leo Leone has been wrestling since he was seven years old. As the only son of wrestling coach (and ex-state champion) Edward Leone, Leo's dedication to the sport was tied up in his love for his father. Now Leo is seventeen. His life has been an endless cycle of training, sacrifice, and starving to make weight -- a process that is becoming ever more difficult during adolescence. He's tired of denying himself everything, and is feeling the lure of a world beyond the mat. Living paycheck to paycheck, working a dead-end job in the mines while coaching for no money, Leo's father Ed sees a wrestling scholarship as his son's only chance to escape the treadmill of life in a small Pennsylvania town. But though his motives are good, Ed is pushing his son too hard.

User Review - 10/10 by DAMIthis is the best wrestling movie i have seen since vision quest
User Review - 10/10 by Hank HBought this movie for my son, who was a high school wrestler at the time. We both truly enjoyed this film.
User Review - 10/10 by Dave H"Reversal" begins by developing the relationship between seven-year old Leo Leone and his father (Jim Petulla), the coach of his wrestling team. At such a young age, Leo learns how wrestling is a metaphor for everything in life. Together, Leo and his father train for his upcoming match, and I'm left with the uncomfortable feeling that Leo's father is looking to live vicariously through his son. It's 10 years later, and Leo (Danny Mousetis) and his father are still tight, although they don't seem to have a deep relationship outside of wrestling. It's very unnerving to see Coach Leone wear Oklahoma T-Shirts, manipulating his son into believing that he really wants to attend the University of Oklahoma. Sure, his intentions are not necessarily bad. It's obvious that he loves his son, and a college education is an absolute necessity these days; but when you see Leo's nose bleed in the middle of a conversation, and later, him throwing up after dinner, then you know something is wrong. Leo begins dating a girl named Shaw (Kelly Vint), who doesn't fit the "cheerleader" mold that most athletes go after. They have a realistic chemistry that develops over the course of the movie. With her help, Leo is able to realize that he has to make a choice between living his own life, or letting his father continue to live vicariously through him. "Reversal" is a unique movie, especially because of the fact that it touts a cast of relative unknowns. "Reversal" is more than just the ins and outs of amateur wrestling. It's about the relationship between fathers and sons, husbands and wives; it's about taking control of your life; it's about sacrifice; and it's about accomplishing the goals you have set for yourself.
