Matt Roush says...
His body was a weapon, his soul collateral damage. That’s the wrenching real-life story of Auschwitz survivor Harry (born Hertzko) Haft, introduced as “the pride of Poland” in his post-war career in America as a pro boxer. Each punch he absorbs carries PTSD flashes from his time in the concentration camp, where he was kept alive only to pummel doomed fellow prisoners for their Nazi captors’ amusement. The remarkable Ben Foster undergoes extreme physical transformation to portray Harry from emaciated prisoner to beefy refugee. He yearns to take on the legendary Rocky Marciano if only for publicity that might help him connect with the love of his life, who disappeared in the camps. Barry Levinson directs with unflinching realism and compassion.
