This movie was corny as all hell, maudlin...the story could have been good, but getting into the 2nd half of the movie it felt like all nuance left the building and it was just way too heavy handed. I was sitting at a C grade heading into the final fight, and ended up at a D+. "Break him" became a literal action? The ref asking him what his name was to over to top cornball effect? This movie was trying way too hard. The Drago's were the best part of the movie...the rest felt pretty blah to me.
