A great boxing movie, with superb performances from Russell Crowe and Paul Giamatti

Rating: 9/10 (23 September 2010)

Russell Crowe, being one of my favorites (Since 'A Beautiful Mind'), this one had to be a must watch! Director Ron Howard join forces with Russell Crowe (an Oscar-Winning combination) and delivers a superb and perfect boxing movie in the era of great depression. This movie is supported by excellent cast performances from Rene'e and Paul Giamatti. Paul is a must see; has delivered some really superb scenes in this movie. This movie revolves around 'Jim Braddock', who was an inspiration in 30's when he had a come-back in boxing and became a champion, supporting his family in the era of depression at the same time. A MUST SEE for Ron Howard and Russell Crowe fans!
