The signs were not encouraging for Hands of Stone. This biopic about Roberto Duran had seen its press screenings canceled here at Cannes, leaving only one late-night premiere available to critics. Usually, that's an indication that you're about to see a stinker. Well, the movie may not be great, but it's good enough, thanks especially to Edgar Ramirez and (wonder of wonders) Robert De Niro. My review is up at Screen International.
