Durkin manages to set a great 80’s atmosphere, mostly thanks to the colour tonality and soundtrack chosen.

The hand of Chavo Guerrero is felt in the great wrestling choreography, but on the flipside the in-ring camera work sometimes diminishes its effect.

Another uneven element is the writing. The movie never feels like a true family drama, but rather an isolated look into several doomed characters. Nonetheless, the acceptable (but slightly theatrical) work from the cast and its cheesy but actually effective ending manage to emotionally move you.
