The most searing love story I had never been told before. This film is a gorgeous visual experience from beginning to end. A triumph of the true-story form. True to it's tagline, "the truth will knock you out", this film takes its viewers on a visceral ride through a myriad of social, political and geographical landscapes and strikingly human terrains most director's wouldn't dare to explore in one fell swoop. The cast and the characters they embody wholeheartedly carry the viewer through. A must watch.

A well done movie, based on a true story about boxer George Martin and his love interest. This touching story shows the true meaning of love and loyalty.

The boxing genre has produced many great movies to be sure, usually great because while boxing is the center of the plotting, these are movies about people of immense character. No exception here, but even more so. The variety of characters is amazing too. It has it's brutal moments, as you would expect in a film set in prison, but the overwhelming thing I was left with is that this is a movie about the possibility for redeeming love and gentleness and supreme transcendent loyalty in the most adverse conditions. The fact that it is based on a genuine story, with the two principals showing up in cameo surely adds to the interest. It's a very unusual sort of story because of its extremity in all ways, and the noble and proper choices people can make under enormous pressures. A movie, I suppose, must be categorized, and this one seems slotted as a boxing biopic, but I suppose its a many layered sort of love story. It could be called a prison movie, or a romance, or a topical picture about transgender relations, or a film about inter racial brotherhood, and it all works ,like a great stew. You need a great script to handle so many elements, and terrific acting from a lot of actors to pull this off, and that is just what has happened. It is a very life-affirming movie, and realizing that it is absolutely true to actual events, authentic, as shown in the final credits and as a cursory internet search reveals, gives it that much more power. Highly recommended.

This is a film that everyone should see......why you may ask? Well for starters its a true story about a very human existence told from a few different angles. The story was researched extensively by cast and crew for accuracy this makes the story so much better. As a fanatic of film or anything that is well written I have spent most of my life watching people's stories on the silver screen. The Hammer is a beautiful movie that shines a light on so many different controversial topics and wraps them all up in a powerful blanket of love. This is a human story that can evoke the strongest emotions in the hardest of hearts! This film has the ability to do what many other films can't and that is make the world a more loving compassionate place and you may just learn a little more about yourself in the process.

Heart, Baby left me breathless. This powerful film embraces love and loyalty. The genuine love and friendship between George and Doc gave me a wonderful, heartwarming feeling. Crystal's amazing love for George - the hand stitched robe, the solution to George's pain. This film holds a special place in my heart and will continue to replay in my mind and soul. Watch this film and you will feel the love from the actors and the director. Amazing.

I've learned over the years if there's a film created by Angela Shelton, you have to see it, I absolutely love this movie. It's one of the most powerful and important films I've seen in a long time. Though the film is about boxing and a boxer, it's about so much more. I need to purchase a copy for my personal library.

Very inspirational story! Loved it... A great story of overcoming the odds and realizing your dream..

This is a prison drama based on a true story. George Lee Martin (Gbenga Akinnagbe ) is doing time for a series of robberies. He has become a prison boxer and quite good. In fact he is offered his freedom and a spot on the US Olympics team. George won't go without his "sissy" (Shawn-Caulin Young) cellmate and lover. Toss in the typical prison riot and a few shanks and you have a film. The fact that George didn't go was anti-climatic. Well acted, but went nowhere. No failure to communicate. Guide: F-word. Nudity
