Just watched Split Decisions.
It was an entertaining boxing movie.

Starring Graig Sheffer, Gene Hackman, Jeff Fahey and Jennifer Beals.
All the actors give a good performance and i donīt understand the complaining on the IMDb.

Sheffer was on a hot streak in the beginning of his career:
That Was Then...This Is Now (1985)
Fire With Fire (1986)
Some Kind of Wonderful (1987)
(ahem [Smile] ) Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1987)
and then Split Decisions.

Good stuff!

I just finished watching this atomik,had not seen it since its first release back on a UK guild home video back in 88/89.

Really enjoyed it,i couldn't recollect it being this entertaining.

I'd say this is a pretty underatted little movie actually.

Put it this way I'm now looking at picking up a copy (it was a rental) for myself.

I like the likes of this,streets of gold etc.

Great little boxing drama.

I just looked on Imdb,your right there are some pretty harsh reviews on there.

A film like this You get the usual it's no rocky,or it's no raging bull quotes,what were they expecting,honestly some people.

At the end of the day I was very entertained for an hour and a half so to me that's all that matters.

I agree atomik,it's good stuff!
