Very good

Rating: 8/10 (6 December 2006)

I had no idea what to expect from this film when i stuck it on (apart from boxing of course!) thinking how can this tell me a different story to whats been thrown at me already from the world of boxing films but I was pleasantly surprised. Im not a fan of Mr Crowe usually but I couldn't help but back him 100% during this film, not only in the fights but in the streets begging for work too.
The only criticism I can point out is that the pre/post final fight overplayed the hero business somewhat, I half expected in the end text to see written "After moving from Jersey, Braddock single handedly saved the world from terrorists on not once, but two occasions"
Aside from that, it was a very entertaining film 8/10
