Traditional and uninspired, it does an adequate job of relating Duran's story but falls short of providing an engaging cinematic experience.

There are some engaging asides about Arcel's struggles with boxing's dirty underbelly, but they feel like they belong to a different movie. (De Niro's superfluous and soporific voiceover, however, belongs in no movie whatsoever.)

"Hands of Stone" is less like a boxing flick and more like a professional wrestling battle royale with all its different subplots angling for main event status.

It's engaging, sure, with some fast-paced and capable fight sequences.
