Movie Haiku:Diana (Rodriguez) has every right to the huge chip she's carrying on her shoulder, but it's weighing her down. Her future looks bleak until she stumbles on a teacher who helps her channel her aggression into boxing. She finds herself in breaking down old barriers. Raw. Intense. Inspiring.
