    This more than a movie about boxing corruption, it's also about the corruption of a person's soul. Eddie Willis is an decent man down on his luck looking to make a big score. He keeps providing self justifications as he get in deeper and deeper. Because we know what's going to happen the boxer, the question is can Willis go all the way?
