    In Fighting Tommy Riley, another boxing drama is asking audiences to gird themselves for more emotional gut punches.

    Outrageously sentimental and retrograde.

    The sort of slick-looking indie that plays well at film festivals, this heavy-handed boxing drama is really just a flyweight bulked up on cliches and false sentimentality.

    You may come to Fighting Tommy Riley for the boxing, but you'll find much more to ponder than left jabs and right hooks

    If it fails to land its big final punch, it's still a contender.

  • Jon Strickland L.A. Weekly
    Anchored by Eddie Jones' passionate performance as the trainer dragged from mysterious retirement, the film also benefits from its convincing milieu.
