This is pulpy, unforgivable stuff, as ungainly as Ryan's walk in her black high heels.

Uninspired tale feels like a made-for-TV movie.

What could have been a gripping tale becomes hammy and overdone.

Kallen's story is interesting and I, quite frankly, expected something better than what we have. The raw materials are all here. They just need a little better management and promotion. Against the Ropes -- a split decision.
