Worth seeing

Rating: 8/10 (17 October 2005)

It's not Russell Crowe's most convincing performance, but it's a very good movie and the boxing scenes were perfect, really exciting! Unfortunately I read to much about Cinderella Man before seeing it, so I was not able to enjoy it totally. Next time no reading in advance, it spoils the experience. My friends who saw the movie with me, were deeply fascinated and liked the it very much. Excellent performance by all the actors. Crowe has played more convincingly in other roles though, especially in Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind, The Sum of Us and For the Moment. Professional direction by Ron Howard. Very exciting boxing scenes, even for me who knew too much about the plot. Go and see it!
