PRICE OF GLORY tells the uplifting story of Arturo Ortega (Jimmy Smits), a former boxer who lost his chance at glory when a greedy promoter pushed him into the ring prematurely. Still reeling from the past disappointment, Ortega uses his experience to help guide his three sons into becoming championship boxers themselves. Through the resulting battles--personal, professional, and cultural--he confronts his past demons once and for all. Handled with extreme sensitivity by Carlos Avila, PRICE OF GLORY is aided greatly by Smits' impassioned, inspiring performance. [More]

Reviews for Price of Glory
The road to glory is often paved with good intentions, but so is the path to mediocrity, which exactly where Carlos Avila's well-meaning drama heads in no time.
While the intentions are good, Price of Glory is never confident enough to push the boundaries of the sports drama mold.
The acting is top-notch, especially Smits in his first post-NYPD role.
First-time screenwriter Phil Berger, who has covered the sport for The New York Times, relies heavily on clichés but somehow manages to make this melodramatic story take off.
