The story of struggle and triumph of Irish American boxer Micky Ward

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2011)

A must see movie for any film fan, some great and some exceptional performances from a brilliant cast, most notable by the scene stealing Christian Bale.
The film documents the life and time of Irish Micky Ward and his struggle with his relationships with his family in his pursuit to make it to the top of the boxing profession.
Mark Whalberg leads an amazing cast and delivers a very believable performance in his portrayal of the gritty MIcky Ward. The hours of gym and boxing work he has obviously completed in the build up to this movie make the fighting scenes very genuine and very believable.
