ASTONISHINGLY MONUMENTAL! INGENIOUSLY ARRESTING! RELENTLESSLY INSPIRATIONAL!

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2018)

Packing harder punches than legendary director Martin Scorsese's boxing epic "RAGING BULL" is the larger than life fact based underdog story of New Jersey boxer James Braddock and the emotionally piercing heartfelt struggles that he and his family sustained during the Great Depression. A film critic from "TIME OUT" magazine said it best when he stated that "the affection for Braddock and his story can be felt in every frame and heard in every word."
Ron Howard's extraordinarily unforgettable "CINDERELLA MAN" in my strongest opinion is the greatest boxing film of all time. A genuine cinematic masterpiece that emotionally brings you to both your knees and to your feet and will forever be a surefire lock in my "TOP 20 MUST SEE FILMS BEFORE YOU DIE."
This critically acclaimed film is an absolute best for the impressive and illustrious careers of both director Ron Howard (Apollo 13) and lead actor Russell Crowe (Gladiator). Russell Crowe's magnetic and visceral portrayal of boxing underdog James Braddock is still to this very day one of the most phenomenal acting performances of all time.
