In this case, director Christopher M. Anthony has hit a belter with Heavyweight, a psychological sports drama about a boxer gearing up backstage for the biggest fight of his life. Through stinging dialogue and masterful tension, he doesn’t throw his lead into the ring as much as bring it crashing down atop of him. With the film all set in one location, the Diamond team’s prep room, it lives or dies with its characters; Heavyweight has memorable personalities in spades. Either way, you’ll catch me buying a ticket to his next directorial outing, whenever that comes. Christopher, take your time to make something just as good as this, and you’ll have a double knockout.
