Home of the most Peter Berg-y transition in cinema history: protagonist writes down central question of the plot, then underlined it. Smash cut to two huge guys boxing. Classic Berg.

Amiable, undemanding tough guy fun. Absolutely what Whalberg should be doing all the time now.

How much coke were they doing to think this was a good idea?

This is just an awful movie, made by somebody with contempt for cinema, apparently. Poverty porn for people who like hand-wringing in the comfort of their sitting room instead of actual change in the lives of others...
