a joke of a movie

Rating: 1/10 (17 March 2011)

I still don't understand how this movie is rated 8.1. It's ridiculous. From a boxing point of view this is the worst movie ever made (and, unfortunately, not only from a boxing point of view....). I think the actors trained no more than a couple of hours before shooting the scenes. The match with Sanchez is simply unbelievable. The actors don't even TRY to look real! I don't know which movies you usually watch to give these ratings. I'm sorry to write this review because i liked Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale in their other movies. This time, from my personal point of view, they made a mess. I wasn't even able to watch it till the end. The director should be forced to watch Rocky and Raging Bull nonstop until he realize his total lack of professionalism. don't waste your time and money on this!!
