great acting

Rating: 8/10 (28 January 2011)

That's a powerhouse. I haven't seen such a good boxing movie long time. Really got me into. The whole film is based on a true story. And it's quite inspiring. There is not that much boxing. The centre is more to the relationships between the leading character and his family. And I enjoyed that pretty much. What I really liked were soundtracks. The music during some fast-paced scenes were top notch.
Mark Wahlberg wow! Christian Bale wow! Amy Adams wow! Melissa Leo wow! I mean, cast is the strongest part of the movie. They all absolutely deliver. Special praise goes to Christian Bale.
Boxing movies are certainly not for everyone. But the fans find this one thrilling hundred percent. I'm definitely a fan.
