Rating: 8/10 (11 October 2015)

Boy oh boy how excited I am ~! I just hope, it will not drag me back to boxing it was way too hard and painful to stop it I don't want to go through it again. I love film with Jake Gyllenhaal so it will be a real treat for me, let's not waste any more time and go for it~!
7 minutes – the fight scene is a little too overdone, to say the least but I still love it
14 minutes – I have such high hope for this one, it feels amazing and I genuinely can't wait to see what will happen next~! We all know that something bad will happen, but what~?!@
29 minutes – OK can I take it back? I didn't want to see it It was a little over the top, it could happen, highly unlikely but it happened. I can only imagine where it will go from here
55 minutes – predictable like a train on railway + severely over-dramatised
1h 22minutes – I really like the way the film deals with everything outside of boxing, usual problems, everyday struggle etc. Even though it is over-dramatised, it's still nice
1h 30minutes – yea, it's amazing how it plays with your emotions
1h 50minutes – I am not boxing expert, but I have watched few dozens of top bouts, they don't look like this. They are very well made, but for somehow who knows thing or two, they feel unnatural
It must be really hard to make a good film about boxing, but it is definitely one of them. Even though, there were some bouts shown, this film is more about everything outside of a ring. Jake Gyllenhaal was great as usual, and it was nice to see Forest Whitaker too.
EDIT: I have just noticed that the writer of the story is none other than Kurt Sutter, the man who created Sons of Anarchy Do I have to say anything more? :)
