At least they didn’t, until Shields' dogged determination changed the rules.

Her mother Jackie (Olunike Adeliyi) is more selfish than dependable, and her father is incarcerated.

The action in the ring is well shot and choreographed and the script captures Shields' voice well.

The Fire Insidecomes to theaters on December 25.
