Great sports movie - but more than that, an overall great movie!

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2012)

"I loved this movie - it offered both a compelling story and great sports scenes. I also thought the acting was wonderful - melissa leo, amy adams, Christian bale, and mark wahlberg were ALL excellent. You are drawn in my each and everyone of these characters.
I love how there were multiple interesting and engaging stories - the fighter, the brother, the family, the girlfriend...
This movie is definitely more than a typical "sports" movie - there is a lot of depth here, made all the more powerful since this is based on true events.
I love sports dramas and this was one of my favorites.
