The CinePearl Take
Karyn Kusama’s debut is a punchy mix of grit and tenderness, anchored by Michelle Rodriguez’s ferocious debut as Diana. The film’s tight, handheld camerawork mirrors the claustrophobic world of the Bronx gym, while the romance with Ray Santiago never feels like a distraction. Its unapologetic look at masculinity, identity, and ambition makes it feel fresh even two decades later.
