Don't know what all the fuss is about

Rating: 1/10 (5 November 2015)

I was excited to watch this movie, I like Jake Gyllenhaal, Rachel McAdams and boxing movies but this was just a big let down. The storyline on paper sounded good, but it was just so slow to get there. I didn't even get to the part when she died. I saw when she got shot and then turned it off because I was dying with boredom. I enjoyed Million Dollar Baby, Cinderella Man, The Fighter and the Rocky's but this movie was so unoriginal. It wasn't Jake Gyllenhaal's best work either, it was like they were trying to drag out the storyline and the dramatic parts of the movie for effect but it wasn't executed well. I don't know why this has gotten such great ratings, this is my first review on IMDb and I only got on it so I could write another opinion about this film.
