Nothing wrong with a good underdog story

Rating: 8/10 (1 September 2009)

Very much in the 'ROCKY' style where an unknown gets his dream shot. I never thought i'd end up watching a Disney film on T.V at 1am but this had me hooked from the start, and also being a sucker for true story's it kept me watching. mark wahlberg was pretty out-standing, with the rest of the cast doing a fine job's. Maybe Hollywood has taken liberties with all the facts but that doesn't make it a bad movie. The film is paced just right and for me the sound track was spot on. This film defiantly tick's the underdog story box but also ticks the feel-good box too. And by the end i found myself giving a little fist pump for Vince. The only thing i didn't like was the sepia tint on the camera, maybe it was an effect to give it a more retro feel, but it is only a minor criticism.
