Matt Roush says...
Rocky meets The Karate Kid in an uplifting drama from Andscape, based on a 2018 documentary, starring Moonlight‘s André Holland as ex-con Walt Manigan, a one-time boxing hopeful who finds redemption by coaching young amateur fighters from the Southeast D.C. streets alongside his own former mentor, Slim (Elsbeth and The Wire‘s Wendell Pierce). Writer-director Sheldon Candis cites Oscar-winning director John G. Avildsen (Rocky, The Karate Kid) as an inspiration for this fact-based feel-good movie.
