     Home | Film | Against the Ropes



'Against the Ropes' is a 2004 drama movie. It was directed by Charles S. Dutton, in his motion-picture directorial debut. It is a fictionalized account of the American boxing manager Jackie Kallen, who was the first woman to become a success in the sport. Luther Shaw most likely represents James Toney, a boxer whom Kallen managed to a title despite a rocky relationship.

Against the Ropes grossed less than $6 million in the US and was panned by critics, in part because of its resemblance to other boxing movies, such as the Rocky series. As with other such movies, its climax is a bout for the championship.

The film was shot primarily in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada at the Copps Coliseum.

Against the Ropes Video

Pushed up against the ropes, you wouldn't last another round. I never wished for you to suffer like this. You would not listen. We will survive, the strong, the fortunate, the never ending. We will survive through thick and thin. Looking in the mirror, seeing a trouble reflection. This is our darkest hour. Remember what you said when we waved our goodbyes. We're all dead in the end, so live life while you can. You've abandoned me. You've abandoned all of us. We've forgiven you, so forgive yourself. I have little sympathy for this divorce story. Stand in front of the jury, with no happy ending
