10 out of 10. Favourite film so far of 2011

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2011)

This film is an instant classic. Forget that it's based around boxing, it is not in any way a modern Rocky or stupid unbelievable action film. This is real acting, a real story and a real masterpiece all rolled in to one. I defy anyone to write a bad review or dislike this film. It really is that good. Mark Wahlberg plays his part perfectly, however all credit has to go to Christian Bale. This is method acting at its best. It will be a crime if he doesn't win an award for this performance. He steals every scene he is in and does it so well he really is just unrecognisable as Christian Bale. The story just sucks you in and by the end you feel so fired up you just want to jump out of your seat and join in. Great film, fantastic cast, brilliant directing. Just amazing. Go and watch this one. You will not be disappointed.
