This week, the Mikes step into the ring with Hands of Stone, a biopic that tries to capture the rise of boxing legend Roberto Durán—and maybe a few too many other things along the way. We break down the film's rushed pacing, strong-but-underdeveloped performances, and how its "highlight reel" structure both helps and hurts the story. Plus: awkward editing choices, the challenge of covering an entire life in two hours, and whether the movie ever really lands its emotional punches. Wikipedia page for Hands of Stone.
