“Navy Bound is a serviceable, meat and potatoes melodrama. It has elements of Rocky in the boxing scenes as Joe Morelli a Navy boxing champion returns home on shore leave to help his family out who are in financial trouble as they are on the verge of losing their fishing boat.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are bust ups with his foster brothers who have turned mean so no one else in town will work for them and then gets an opportunity for a professional fight where he can earn enough money to pay off the debts.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie is a u0026#39;Bu0026#39; movie without any pretensions but it is not too entertaining but has enough commitment from the actors to make up for its shortcomings.”
