Another Classy Boxing movie.....just awesome..

Rating: 9/10 (8 January 2011)

After watching the trailers for last few months finally watched it..and loved it.Right actors for the right roles.Each character has been thoughtfully selected and each one of them have religiously performed their part.Whether it is Micky,Dicky,mom,girlfriend...they all have been able to perfectly portrait the true story of the "Irish" and his battle to the top. Christian Bale..turning out to be an actor who can just perfectly play any role he gets..whether it is the role of Batman,Psycho,terminator or a drug addict..he just fits in.Bale's acting as a restless addict in the movie is superbly played.Overall characters were nicely balanced.Mark Wahlberg did well in showing as a professional boxer.Anyway the best parts are still the fights.I loved the last two fights because they ended pretty quick.Usually you already know that the actor after getting beaten to death will get back all his motivational energy after seeing some flash trailers of his bad past in his memory. Here it just ends..two three quick nice shots and thats it..he wins.You don't have to wait till you see the villain getting beaten to the core. A must watch for action and sports movie lovers. I rate it 9 out of 10 and would not mind watching it two or three times more.
