And a one, two, punch

Rating: 8/10 (20 March 2011)

Tale of a boxer against all odds.
Raw, gritty, intense. Everything you'd expect from a boxing movie. Christian Bale really steals the show.
Micky Ward's sisters add a great, humorous balance to this crazy mix of characters.
With the hand-held camera & old-school effects, there's nothing picturesque about this.
Only thing that bothered me was that it felt like a scene was missing at the end.
Altogether? Spirited & inspiring.
8/10
