Split Decisions (1988)
An emotional knockout
14 September 2004 - 10 out of 14 users found this review helpful.
Eddie McGuinn is a young amateur boxer who's good enough for the Olympics. His brother Ray also boxes, but he's an egotistical hothead who aligns himself with lowlifes. When the mob tells Ray to lose a fight against "Snake" Pedroza, he refuses, and is killed by mafia thugs and Pedroza himself. As a result, Eddie decides to put his Olympic dreams behind and turn pro so he can fight Pedroza himself, and avenge his brother's death.
Simply it is amazing, it may not be one of Hackman's best known films but it is one of his best.
A must see.
