Mustanaamio7's Movie Diary 2019 (251 movies items)

"23.2. 2019 Robert Wise's movie "The Set-Up" mixes elements of a boxing movie and a film-noir thriller pretty well together. The main character is an aged boxer who really wants to win a match, but a betting gangster who bribed his manager wants the main character to lose. A dated but still moderately exciting film tells that sometimes the price of principles might be too heavy to pay."
