Rating: 8/10 (23 March 2011)

I love this movie, It is one of the best movies of the Year, Its real people, real life and real family. is an outstanding film that features outstanding performances from Melissa Leo, Christian Bale and Amy Adams. It's a little predictable but it's a solid, on-your-feet, emotionally arresting, entertaining boxing drama.Finally, This movie will have multiple nominations when Oscar time rolls around. The city of Lowell paints a good background for this picture. Not since Raging Bull have I been so into a boxing movie. Bale is always top notch and Wahlburg keeps showing his acting teeth. With the action not to over done and the meat & potatoes of training for the Big fight you will want to cheer for the underdog.
