They Fight review – boxing drama is an emotional gutpunch

In the boxing drama "They Fight," André Holland delivers a standout performance as Walt, a once-promising boxer whose career was shattered by the drug trade and a prison stint. Set against the gritty backdrop of Washington DC, the film echoes the themes found in "Creed" and "Million Dollar Baby," using the sport as a powerful metaphor for resilience and redemption. The emotional depth and Holland's compelling portrayal make this film a poignant reminder of boxing's enduring role as an allegory for the human struggle against adversity.
