Amazing, more enjoyable than Rocky by far

Rating: 10/10 (26 July 2015)

I have no idea how one doesn't like this film. From the beginning it grabs your attention and you can't take your eyes off the screen. It's emotional and almost leaves you in tears because you can't help but feel for Billy Hope (Jake Gylenhall) but at the same time it's a kick-ass movie that everyone must go see. Jake Gylenhalls performance is astounding and I'll be upset if he does not get at least a nomination for best actor for this movie. The supporting cast of Forrest Whitaker is also very good along with Rachel Mcadams, great performances all around. What makes this better than Rocky in my eyes is that it's much more entertaining and the story is just way better than Rocky,
