The ballad of man on fire

With the boxing movies you kinda know what you get. In Jawbone there's a boxer gone astray. He's a lonely penniless alcoholic about to get evicted from his childhood home. He gets a second chance and you just see where it goes from there; baby steps to get back into profession, Alcoholics Anonymous, the final fight, the whole nine yards. Not bad, but easily forgettable.

Sometimes he's pretty much a ghost

A perfect crime film, really.  The drug trade has gone to hell and it escalates into a shockingly exciting and bloody story about scoundrels...
