It is supposed to be a film about Lenny McLean and his struggles in his life. But Josh Helman just ruin the character by terrible acting and awful impersonation.
Also the story was not well written, it didn't had any depth at all. The characters were weakly displayed, none of the characters had proper build up to give them a strong base.
It will be terrible mistake on your part if you go and watch the film because regardless of who you are it doesn't worth your time.
Not Recommended.

Worth a watch.
Don't understand all the negative reviews. Mclean was a loon who'd been severely abused as a youngster and had taken and administered many savage beatings. Hence the grimaces and grins and over the top behavior.
You didn't know him, so how would you know whether this was overplayed or not?
I thought the movie was funny, entertaining, mildly disturbing an incomplete story--a segment of his life.
Lenny, the daddy cool!
Another boxing film based on a real person. Not exactly the sports film with actions you want to see. Because it is about the underground boxing theme with less traditional. So it is not like a real heroism story. Lanny, an orphan grew up with his abusive step-dad, developed a tough character. Being aggressive made him a champion at the barehanded street fights. With poverty ridden, now he's trying his luck on the underground boxing, which drastically brings a big change in his life.
Usually biographical film fascinates. Because their achievements are hard earned. So their rise in life inspires thousands of people who watch the film. This was not the same kind. But it had some good side too. The story was okay, though the performances totally annoyed me. That's the main reason I consider it an average. It might be the right depiction of the character Lenny, but cinematically not right. Maybe different cast would have brought different, appropriate result. Only being a biopic is the reason it's worth a watch, but nothing else worked for it.
