  • Critic Reviews
    "...Appealing performances....[Jackson] exudes a droll and charismatic joviality..."
    Variety

    "There are plenty of profane laughs in this cartoonish spoof of the fight game..."
    Rolling Stone

    "...An often-sharp satire told from the inside..."
    Sight and Sound

    "...A happily outrageous satire....Its high spirits sustain a spiky comic style....[Mr. Jackson] makes a delightfully sly presence..."
    New York Times

    "Fast, furious and pummelingly funny....[Hudlin] swirls the movie's pace into a froth of taunts, jabs, and satire." -- Rating: B+
