The New York TimesA.O. Scott
Lacks more than subtext: it barely has text. At times, the picture seems to have been edited with a blowtorch. But it gets the job done efficiently and swiftly. Read full review

SalonStephanie Zacharek
The picture is entertaining and brutal (it's a movie about tough convicts fighting, after all), but it can't figure out what kind of movie it would like to be. Read full review

ReelViewsJames Berardinelli
The film has two highlights -- a profanity-laced monologue by Peter Falk about boxing and the one-on-one confrontation between Monroe and Chambers in the ring. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle
Has a certain B-movie integrity -- a muscular commitment to grabbing the viewer's eye and keeping things moving. It won't win any awards, but it holds interest. Read full review

New York PostLou Lumenick

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick Groen
Isn't unequivocally bad. Rather, this is what's known in the boxing world as an "opponent" -- shows up on the weekend just to fill out the card, to do battle with its betters, earn a little cash and be completely forgotten come Monday morning. Read full review

Film ThreatMichael Dequina
Falls apart with the slightest nudge -- of thought, that is. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineKen Fox
Shot through the bars of a barbed-wire topped cage and staged to a pounding soundtrack, the fight is quite a spectacle, but it's ultimately an empty one. Read full review

Village VoiceMichael Atkinson
The movie is typical Hill-pulp: modestly scaled and efficiently cheesy. Read full review
