In 1977 a promising young boxer is knocked out of contention thanks to a sleazy manager who cashed out on his potential by pushing him into a big-money fight before he was ready. Thirteen years later that very same boxer, Arturo Ortega (Jimmy Smits), has three sons whom he's training to be boxers too. His schoolteacher wife wants to make sure they get good grades, but Arturo is sure that boxing is their best chance to get out of the barrio. Flash-forward another 10 years, and the training is paying off. The three boys, Jimmy (Clifton Collins Jr.), Sonny (Jon Seda), and especially Johnny (Ernesto Hernandez) have grown into smart and talented boxers. Obviously, Arturo is a good and a tough trainer, but the question of whether he's got his own or his sons' best interests at heart arises when a slick promoter (Ron Perlman) offers him big money first for his sons' contracts and then for a series of title fights. Price of Glory does an admirable job of riding that conundrum throughout, offering no easy answers. There is solid acting throughout and it's nice to see such a Latino-heavy cast, but at just over two hours the pace lags and the central themes are repeated one or two too many times. Aside from a late subplot about corruption and violence that comes across as a bit contrived, this is a good family film about boxing. --Andy Spletzer

I bought this movie for the second time, because the first one got stolen. I looked every where for this movie. I'm glad I was able to find it here. I love the story line and the final out come is great. To me it's a good lift for hispanic actors and movies. If you like boxing you will enjoy this movie. It takes you through the intracies of the fight game and how it plays out for the less fortunate.

As the Boxing trainer and coreogpaher w Benny "The Jet" Urquidez
I have to give a lot of credit to all the actors who worked in the fight scenes. All the kids and all the adult stars had never
laced up a pair of gloves before in their life. Exect for Jon Seda who had previously trained with "The Jet" and myself along w/ Cuba Gooding Jr. for the movie Gladiator back in 1990.And yes it's true Jon was a Golden Gloves Champion from new Jersey and he was a pleasure to work with once again. He has the talent to become a Pro fighter if he chose to be. he never complained about the rigorous training routines day after day
and was able to grasp the intricate coreography and changes on a moments notice. The rest of the actors were great also.
the real chalenge for them was to learn how to Box from scratch, and also learn how to movie punch, and take the reactions w/o hurting each other, and at the same time acomplishing this in a mere 6 weeks
My hats off to them all.
simply an awesome movie January 6, 2002

I would really recommend this movie to any one who has a taste of family drama. A beautiful and touchy story about a family struggling for glory and success. Jimmy smith is really awesome. I am amazed how this movie is unnoticed by critiques.
