Not a bad movie at all. It's hard to say for sure, but I don't think the good reviews are just a function of low expectations. Sure, it's a rocky movie, so you know what to expect, but it is better than most rocky movies. The movie looks good, and is fairly well acted, and for a rocky movie, is plausible.
I'm guessing he wrote it while making "the contender." He should've given his friend Sugar Ray a bit part.
