Movie Reviews of Shadowboxer
Movie Review: It's the controversy that makes it genius
Summary: 5 Stars
True genius never seems to be realized except in hindsight. My prediction is that this movie will be appreciated more in the future, than it is appreciated now.
It is the twisted, unpredictable storyline, provided by a range of characters who are very nearly under-acted. You must watch it more than once in order to understand the subtle implications throughout. Quite simply, this is an intellectual movie, and would have likely been quite successful with foreign film critics and lovers had it originated in Europe or another location. But since it's Cuba & our familiar faces in this film, we expect it to be the typical American fluff-film that we are used to seeing.
Do yourself a favor, and watch this movie. Then, watch it again, just to be sure you didn't miss anything (because I'm sure you will on the first go). I brought this movie to several friends and had them watch it, because I liked it so much, and many of them (who are all fairly intellectual and appreciative of high-level art), appreciated seeing this film that they had not remembered hearing about.

Shadowboxer is an emotionally-charged full-throttle thriller which delves deep into the harsh underworld of organized crime and uncovers the complex lives of trained assassins Mikey (Cuba Gooding Jr.) and Rose (Helen Mirren). But when a brutal crime boss wants his wife dead Rose decides against killing the pregnant woman. Instead the three begin a harrowing life on the run. Driven by fierce love Rose and Mikey protect their adopted family from present danger looking to redeem their tragic past.System Requirements:Run Time: 90 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: SPORTS/GAMES/MIXED MARTIAL ARTS Rating: R UPC: 855280001533 Manufacturer No: CM0153DVDAction & Adventure DVD Video
