Great!

Rating: 8/10 (17 September 2005)

This was the word that exit from my lips when I finished showing "Cinderella Man". A great job of Ron Howard, with a really great Russell Crowe (I think he will be nominated by the Academy Awards). It's a film of boxing, yes, but it's also a film of improvement, of love. Love in the worst situations, love when they haven't milk, when they haven't light. But there is a light more powerful than the material light: the light of the heart.
The story of Jimmy Braddock is the story of the power of love. Behind Braddock's gloves there's the strength of knowing that he had a family that loved him.
Moreover, the boxing fights are enthusiastic, they aren't boring.
A good job of Howard. A great Crowe, a correct Zellweger and a wonderful Giamatti.
