Creed
CAST:Sylvester Stallone, Michael B Jordan, Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad
DIRECTION:Ryan Coogler
GENRE:Action
DURATION:2 hours 13 minutes
STORY: Adonis Creed (Jordan) is a strong-minded young man who, after getting a chance at changing his life for the better, seeks to hone his skills and channel his energy into boxing - something he believes he was born to do. When his efforts to find the best trainer fail, he seeks out his dead father's old counterpart, Rocky Balboa (Stallone). Will Balboa take Creed Jr under his wing and train him for greatness?
REVIEW: Every once in a while, there comes along a sports drama film that challenges odds and defies expectations - much like the hero of this film, Apollo Creed's son. While Stallone has not written this film (as he did with the others in the Rocky series), Ryan Coogler makes deft work with this subtle, moving and nuanced tale of interpersonal relationships. The boxing scenes, therefore, only add to the emotional impact of the film. Confrontations in the ring serve as key points, but it is the parts in between that form the flesh and blood of this story. That said though, you will be hard-pressed to find a film that has better brutal pugilistic rounds than this.
