Gladiator (1992) Boxing Movie DvDrip torrent

GLADIATOR (1992)
- this is NOT the Russell Crowe (2000) movie of the same name –
- It is the EARLIER (1992) Cuba Gooding Jr. Movie (a totally different story) of the same name.
This movie may be hard to find as I have seen it requested on a number of torrent sites.

This film tells the story of two teenagers trapped in the world of illegal underground boxing. One is fighting to save his father's life and using the money to pay off gambling debts accumulated by his father. The second is fighting for the money to get out of the ghetto. While being exploited by a boxing promoter, the two teens become friends. An explosive ending puts the two friends in the ring against each other in a fight for survival.

This film didn't win any Oscars and it's not a dramatic masterpiece but it's never boring and moves along nicely. The fight scenes are entertaining, the chemistry between Marshall and Cuba is good, and the majority of the characters are well acted and well developed. The movie has a good soundtrack and a noticeable visual style that stays constant throughout the film. Bottomline: an entertaining kick-ass action movie.
