Good flick, but doesn't live up to the hype

Rating: 7/10 (10 March 2011)

The movie is a solid one, a great deal of emotions going around, a well defined plot, a somehow happy ending,a lovely underdog to root for and above all it casts great actors. Unlucklily good news end here for this movie, in fact when you watch it there's a strong feeling of deja vue all over the place and you Begin strongly to suspect how it's gonna end up. In other words you have the impression to be watching just another Rocky copycat, just this time he speaks with a funny Boston accent. If a friend asked me an advice whether to watch it or not, i would have said: go to the cinema, but do not expect a lot from it. You won't leave disappointed but you'll understand why somebody else got the Oscar for best picture.
