Encostada às Cordas
20/02/2004
Jackie Kallen não está lutar pela glória. Ela está a lutar por respeito. Inspirado numa história verídica, Encostada as Cordas é interpretado por Meg Ryan no papel de Kallen, uma aspirante a agente de boxe, elegante e fala-barato, determinada a transformar o 'Lethal' Luther Shaw (Omar Epps) - um marginal das ruas num campeão de nível mundial. Para ajudar Shaw a subir até ao número um do ranking, Jackie consegue que o veterano treinador Felix Reynolds (Charles S. Dutton) abandone o retiro a que se tinha votado. Mas até conseguirem alcançar o seu sonho de se tornarem campeões, têm de aprender a ficar cada um no seu canto. A questão não é até onde somos capazes de ir. É sobre qual a força com que temos de bater quando alguém é Encostada as Cordas.
