Knockout

Professional wrestling superstar Steve Austin takes time out from his floundering action movie career to take a supporting role in this underdog tale about a high school weenie who learns to defend himself by studying the sweet science. It has the look and feel of an afterschool special, but there’s also enough heart to the story, thanks to an excellent cast, to make you fall for it in the end. Austin is a real treat, too. He manages to carry his part of the film without ever once resorting to any of his Stone Cold mannerisms.
