'On The Ropes follows the story of fictional Martial Arts instructor, Keith Kraft (Mark Noyce) and his rivalry with boxing gym owner Big Joe (Joe Egan). When a local documentary maker is invited to cover a news story for regional TV on a "proper fighting gym", little does he know how events will unfold; particularly as his attention is drawn to a rival gym with a unique fighting style owned by a self-proclaimed karate expert.

On the Ropes is best described as Spinal Tap meets Rocky and is based on the writer's own experiences with gym culture'

Pleasantly surprised

A Customer from , 4th March, 2012

I caught this at the local cinema with a group of friends last year and didn't really know what to expect from it. Fortunately I came away pleasantly surprised and would highly recommend it, particularly if you're a fan of 'The Office' and 'Ricky Gervais' style humour.

Good mix of comedy and action :)

A Customer from , 4th March, 2012

As a martial artist I wasn't convinced I would like this but I couldn't help but laugh and really related to several of the scenes. The film doesn't take itself too seriously and is a good mix of comedy and action.
