Poorly written w/nothing making realistic sense makes it to difficult to get into & stick with the rediculous pat sloppy plot.

Looking at the trailer, it seems some of these scenes are word for word from some of the "Rocky" movies.
An example….:"do you want to be with a real man?" Clubber lange. Mr. T, used that to get Rocky to commit to a fight; The fighter going back to gym for a job like Rocky did in Rocky II, etc

I think this was not intentional . The writer unconsciously wrote what he thought was original material from his subconscious.

not surprising at all – hear the cast is completely cliche

Dave, I\’m not a fan of Antoine Fuqua, but plenty of filmmakers only know how to make films about white people, so…

Antoine Fuqua only knows how to make films about Black people.
