The Set Up

Now this movie was a really great watch for me, because finally there is some action to film noir. the story is around this old boxer call stoker who believe that he could win his fights with just one lucky punch, but as it turn out he got more than he thought he could handled. the whole fight scene was nothing but a “set up” for stoker to lose the fight so some guy could remain famous. stoker crossed the line when he decided to win the fight rather than lose, so after the fight and every body left the ring. stoker was jump by a group of tugs who broke his fits so he could never box again.i find it cruel that people would go so far just to get even with someone.

stoker wife was a bit to much in the film ill say. she just wants the best for herself: just want stoker to stop what he love doing. an act of selfishness got what she wanted at the end of the film. when stoker got jump and lost the ability to box again, and the quote the got to me the most was when stoker wife said that now they could be happy. its like she didn’t even care what happen to him at all.
