You're right in that it's so much more, but if you are someone who wants a great boxing movie then absolutely don't miss this one!

I love three things about it: (1) the real-time element which you addressed so well; (2) the portrait of a big city at night...it almost becomes another character; (3) and Audrey Totter's amazing performance. The whole cast is good, but she is fabulous!
