The Box-er

About This Movie

The Box-er is an interesting piece from 2022 that somehow captures a quirky slice of underground cinema. Shot in just under 48 hours, it has this raw, unpolished feel that really gives it character. The premise is wild—this crime boss looking for the most naive guy to lose a boxing match. It plays a lot with themes of innocence versus corruption, and the pacing keeps you engaged throughout. The humor is offbeat, balancing the drama in a way that's both peculiar and entertaining. Performances are earnest, especially from the lead, whose naivety is almost palpable. Practical effects are minimal but effective. Overall, it’s a small gem in the indie circuit that showcases a unique blend of comedy and drama.
