An engaging story

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2016)

This film tells the story of the son of a boxing legend, who quits his corporate job to make a name in boxing on his own. He gets his father's rival to coach him, and slowly fights to the top.
"Creed" is quite special because it doesn't come across as violent as other boxing films. Maybe it's because a lot of screen time is dedicated to his training and the relationship between Creed and Balboa. The story is a gripping journey of a young man who is determined to succeed. The boxing scenes are very engaging, and I find myself holding my breath, eagerly waiting to see the outcome of the fight. I think the guy playing Creed is a good actor, he put on a good performance in "Fruitvale Station" last time. This time, he seems to be overshadowed by Sylvester Stallone in the Oscars. I hope he gets more attention in his next films.
