The Best in Sports Movies

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2018)

I don't know how many times I watched this movie. But the truth is it still entertains me. The movie clearly shows the pains and struggles that James Braddock had to face in his real life. Instead of picturing it as a mere sports flick, Ron Howard has tried to jell it with family elements, which immensely helped in elevating the quality of the overall movie. Russel Crow has given a solid performance, whereas it is Rene Zellweger and Paul Gimatti who wows me with their stellar performance. The boxing scenes were absolutely jaw dropping and thrilling enough to feel the intensity of the match. I would say this as a "Must watch" movie in the sports genre.
