40. "The Hammer"
A nice, independent film from someone probably not associated with nice, independent films. I enjoyed it throughout and could see how more money (time) would have benefited the final product.
It's the story of an aging boxer/construction worker with no prospects in the first ten minutes of the film. Then he spars with some up and comers. He does well. He moves on to the Olympic trials. He does well. He's used by a coach. He branches out on his own. He performs romantic gestures to win over a new love. There's a happy ending. It's nice. A great date film.
