Diamond in a coal mine

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2006)

other than my votes there is no clear way of expressing my obvious love for the movie. One of the most touching and power punch packed films I have seen in a long time. I must say that after seeing Million Dollar Baby I was not looking forward to watching this one. yet I wanted to see a movie and I went and I was not disappointed at all. Russel Crowe and Renee Zelweger fill the parts of Jimmy Braddock and his wife very well. The chemistry between the actors are well balanced and Paul Giamati gives a very lovable performance as Braddocks friend and agent as well. All in all a very touching and uplifting movie. I am being generous with my grades here sicne I am making comparison between the movies I have watched since the year 2000 and this by the standards is a very out ranking movie. And those who refrain from watching this movie simply based on personal opinions of the cast member are making a big mistake by not watching this movie.
