Preview: Boxing Gym (2010)

Synopsis:

An urban Texas gym where various social and ethnic strata come together to train in the sport of boxing.

• Poster: C-

Review:

Ho hum. It's a bland, wide shot of the vacant gym. It's not exactly the kind of poster that draws people to it.

• Trailer: D+

Review:

There are three things being attempted here, none of which are very successful. Setting a rhythm of the sounds of a gym, slowly building to the end. It's interesting, but it's supremely annoying. The second is trying to establish the various cultures aspect, which visually is there, but isn't terribly noticeable. The third is with a brief bit of dialogue, the owner tries to explain the gym, but with the sound effects in the background, it's hard to key into what he's saying.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
