More than just another boxing movie

Rating: 9/10 (19 April 2020)

Other reviewers have related the story line. And, it may not sound like much. But it is. The movie could have been shmaltzy. Could have been a weak tear jerker. Attention to detail and some fine acting elevates it way about that. And Russell Crowe carries the film on his shoulders and never...not for a moment loses his balance. Watch him.. Many actors excel for what they do in a role. Crowe is perfect here for what he doesn't do. His measured almost understated performance gives Cinderella Man it's solid feel. Watch this film. Watch Russel Crowe.
