The reinstalling processes of original copies in foreign language often face difficulties in translating materials from one cultural context to another, but it was rarely embarrassing as in “Uppercut”, which is the re -equipment of Torsten Rether America from 2021 “Leberhaken” (known as “Punch Punch”). What was already a strait of problems in the terrain that usually directed towards work-the weak sporting drama-acquires additional obstacles here from the director’s tin ear for the writer for the English dialogue, as well as a return that cannot be explained to a major representative less than necessary in a foreign tongue. Lionsgate rotates this serious but unconvincing feature to the limited American theaters as well as digital platforms on February 28.
This preparation may remind you of previous boxing films, especially “million dollars in child” and “The Fire Inside”. Unfortunately, she never exceeds her narrative doors, as a young woman pushes a green but designed to be accepted as a student by a veteran coach who was initially rejected. This prolonged test is largely Infrada here, although now intersects with eight years in the future, when our ambitious fighter hero has become a second manager who faces one of the main match.
This time, the previous shampoo for his experience, with angry Elliot, was replaced by Ving Rhames Hardy Daniel Crewger from the previous movie. The potential benign, Tony, is played by Louise Grossman, who is now described as Louis. If this change in Monsker is assumed to present a new street in the street, this does not do better than anything else here-we do not believe that the character when you make a nookiness by admiration for hip-hop dancers or seizing an angle slice. (Regardless of these scenes, “Uppercut” was mainly filmed in Los Angeles.) We do not believe in particular their commitment to the brutal form of competition, because it grows at least a challenge. Also, we are not convinced very much through its smiling atmosphere of power in the current scenes, where she was wearing and wearing charming pop clothes from “Smile 2” and Brady Corbet “Vox Lux”.
But then, we never know the reason for the German Tony starting here, not to mention the reason for choosing this specific sport. I was asked about this by Riams at some point, saying: “I am tired of handing things over to me. I need to prove that I am more than my father’s daughter, especially for him.” Therefore, this innovative child insists alternately and privileged on the Pugilistic path to the appearance of my father? Of all the possible motives for the hero of the novel in this type of story, this may be the least impressive.
It is also a big issue that is difficult to understand the reuther dialogue full of clichés through its heavy star tone. Early, the older TONI is returning its own diet (Jordan E. Coper) before the match by telling him, “They said,” You are not enough creek! “At least this is what it looks; it takes a minute to realize that it means“ fast enough. ”Likewise, the entire speech clips are distorted in the lack of encryption, which increases dynamic tension with Rhames, who got his weak lines and stereotypes to deal with them while bearing most of the forced gravity of the film.
Nearly an hour before Elliot begins Tony’s position through any physical training, the “supreme” cannot, but often feel like Hander theatrical, despite the courageous attempts to maintain things visually by the editor Savana Pais and two cinematic time. (DP Gevorg Juguryan was replaced by Mwatia Palamybi when production was interrupted in the middle of the shooting through industry strikes). The clients expected greatly grabbed the sniping each other between the bouts of the young philosophy and the personal background, and have never approached a reliable mutual relationship.
In interlocking scenes at the present time, Tony does very little but walks around the underground dressing room in the square, where she argues with her husband at home by phone while watching the match on TV. He never explained why she was not seen on the upper floor, not to mention training her athlete-a task on Joanna Cassidy, which is not used in Rita. Local glimpses we get from the battle itself is not enough to stimulate participation or excitement.
The result is frustrated as well as the patience test, because most of the sports drama we expect is buried under a boring conversation. Psychological visions that we may never accept. The original film was made during the epidemic, which made the virtue of its very limited crew, crew and preparation. “Uppercut” opens things a little in terms of sites and personality menu. However, it fails to take advantage of either of them. Supporting players and settings that exceed the two main internalists in the end of the end of the waste resources.
The first first instinct was to allow a seasoned American colleague to “direct the new version, with the Rayams administration” claiming to be convinced otherwise. It turned out that it was a misleading decision, as the “supreme” that is in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean-is the dated colloquial atmosphere and a bad approximate discovery for the originality of the United States in urban areas, while this German heroine itself is never involved as a central figure. The efforts of the director and the stars may have raised the German language version, but this fixed, lost renewal is completely running out, in exchange for a few rewards.
