| Washington PostPaul AttanasioIt's a wonder nobody had thought of casting Brandauer as a boxer before -- his work is so full of devilish feints and tricky, misleading expressions. |

| User ReviewShawn WRussian defector trains an amateur boxer to a big win over Soviet champ with ESPN on hand. The amateur boxers here show much better defensive skills than the pros Rocky IV, which was made a year earlier. Somewhat predictable but pretty good. |
| User ReviewMichael WAbove average boxing pic has Russian coach earning a measure of redemption in bringing a couple US club fighters up from the bottom. Came out closely on the heels of ROCKY IV. ESPN boxing expert Al Bernstein is on hand. |

| User ReviewCaz Mcould have used better inspirational music/cinematography for the fighting... and why dint they use Wesley Snipes more. That would have made this movie so much better. Also it could have been more climatic, one of the better boxing films I've seen, had a lot of potential to be greater |
