Lionsgate has released a trailer for the upcoming boxing drama Uppercut, which stars Ving Rhames and Luise Grossmann.
The film is described as an electrifying story about Toni, “a determined female boxer, trying to break down barriers as she redefines what it means to be a woman in today’s world.
“When Elliott (Rhames), a tough ex-boxing champion, accepts the challenge to train Toni (Grossmann), the two mismatched characters form an unlikely alliance.
“Their sparring and Elliott’s keen insights show the resilient young fighter that real strength comes from the challenges you overcome when life throws its biggest punches your way.”
The movie was written and directed by Torsten Ruether, and it looks like a good sports drama that might be worth checking out.
The movie is set to be released in theaters, On Digital and On Demand on February 28.
