REVIEW: Boxing Gym


Boxing Gym
By Timberly Goodall

Boxing Gym. It sounds interesting right? What really goes on in a boxing gym? What are the people like? If you have ever wanted to be a fly on the wall in a boxing gym this is your movie. Unfortunately that is literally what the movie was like.  The movie follows the activities that go on in Lord’s Boxing Gym in Austin, TX. You are allowed to drop in on conversations that gym members are having about anything from boxing tips to the difference between different Spanish dance styles. You even get to watch a full fifteen minutes of a man and women working on their footwork (fourteen minutes and forty-five seconds too long)!

I am usually a big fan of documentaries but this was just horrific. It was determined that this film was made to be on television which is where it should have premiered. Not on a big screen. 

All in all, none of the people in our group enjoyed this movie. We want those 2 hours of our lives back please.
