Unfortunately the film doesn't quite get to grips with it on anything other than a superficial level, seemingly too charmed by the polite, respectful lead character to get down and dirty with any bigger issues, so punches are pulled in the drama.

Stodgy fare that eulogises the man rather than delving deeply into his compelling life.

The re-creation of the 1960s backdrop on a tight budget sadly never allows the director to unleash the epic sweep this against-the-odds yarn really requires.

A great story of an incredible man, with boxing scenes like nothing seen before!
