Directed by: Christopher Leitch. Looking for a fresh start, a former pro fighter finds more than he bargained for when he and a fast-talking idea man bump up against an old rival.
The Hitter is underrated, understated, and an entertaining and worthwhile movie. Notably, it's one of the first - if not THE first - Punchfighter. Back in 1979, crowds yelled and held their cash in their hands as two men punched each other without gloves.
