Still reeling from... PRICE OF GLORY tells the uplifting story of Arturo Ortega (Jimmy Smits), a former boxer who lost his chance at glory when a greedy promoter pushed him into the ring prematurely. Still reeling from the past disappointment, Ortega uses his experience to help guide his three sons into becoming championship boxers themselves. Through the resulting battles--personal, professional, and cultural--he confronts his past demons once and for all. Handled with extreme sensitivity by Carlos Avila, PRICE OF GLORY is aided greatly by Smits' impassioned, inspiring performance. [More]

What's peculiar is that the film doesn't build toward anything because even as the boxing careers flourish, the character of Arturo drags everything down.

The movie clocks out with a cowardly sucker-punch.

Price of Glory wins a few rounds, but, unlike The Set Up, The Hurricane or Raging Bull, it loses the fight.

Absent the excitement generated by the powerful theater speakers as they pound out the Latino music, what we have is not much more than a made -for- TV film.

Among boxing movies, Raging Bull remains the all-time champ at breaking the mold. But Price of Glory fills it well.

The acting is top-notch, especially Smits in his first post-NYPD role.

Goes down for the count in a hodgepodge of emotions and familiar boxing-movie conventions.
