This is an inspirational story, based on the real experience of the first and most successful female agent in North American boxing history, Jackie Kallen, and it is a story of sacrifice.
Jackie, a woman who grew up in the boxing circle and loves boxing, broke through the restrictions and resistance of the male-controlled boxing circle. As an agent, she discovered a promising street teenager Luther and trained him into a heavyweight. boxer. With victory after victory, Luthor went from a little-known boxer to a contender for the WBC welterweight title, and Jackie became a sporting celebrity. Facing the aura of fame, Jackie became more and more herself, turned her back on her sports channel friends who helped her in times of hardship, took control of Luthor's life, gave interviews everywhere and turned Luthor's interviews into her own stage, completely disregarding it. Luthor's feelings and training. Eventually, Luthor ran away and went to the boxing boss who suppressed Jackie everywhere. After losing her friends and Luthor, Jackie gave up her brokerage contract with Luthor for Luthor's development, and also terminated her own brokerage career, but did not want the boxing boss to arrange for Luthor in order to guarantee her boxer's championship title. Fighting with his own fighters shortly after the fight. When the game was the most difficult, Jackie appeared, encouraged and guided Luthor to defeat his opponent and won the WBC Welterweight Championship, and also won the recognition and respect of the boxing circle, ushering in the peak of his career.
After Jackie became famous, she inflated herself, took control of everything, and turned her back on her friends to lose everything. This is the best part of this film, reflecting the general psychological trajectory of people. The only highlight of the film's villain boxing boss is meeting Luthor and saying "why people say her name and not your name" which widens the rift between the two and under Jackie's influence become a quagmire. Let him perish, let him go crazy first may be the conclusion of this part, but the Terminator is Jackie herself.
The final climax of the championship battle is completely a farce for the sake of the plot. The former champion did not hesitate to repeatedly violate the rules of the game to fight "dirty punches" for a boy who had just made his debut. The method is not as good as the fallen Tyson biting his ear. Bad, but the film's failure.
But overall, as an inspirational film, the film is still successful.
