as a movie lover/boxing fan I love it! In my top 10

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2006)

Cinderella Man is the true story of James "Jim" Braddock. At the beginning of the movie Braddock is at the peak of his boxing career and on top of the world, until the Great Depression hits and he injures his hand and gives up his boxing career. Braddock is forced to find odd jobs to support his family until he steps back into the ring again to prove to himself that he's still got what it takes. The acting is great (Craig Bierko, normally a comedic actor, gives a surprisingly great performance as the antagonist Max Baer), but what I also loved was the boxing action in it and the intensity of it Ron Howard was able to put together. I hate to put in a cheesy boxing pun, but it was a real knockout! O.K. I'm done. Great movie 10/10
