Wonderful movie on so many levels!

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2011)

My family and I just watched this movie and I had to join IMDb just to write this review. After seeing a review about this movie on NPR, I put it on the list of movies my husband & I wanted to watch. Even with that good review, I wasn't sure what to expect: Rocky, Fighter, etc. It's a long movie, over 2 hours, and the fighting doesn't really start to happen till over half way through but that may be the best part about it. Because the fight wouldn't mean anything without knowing the history of these men. This movie moved me to tears, it made me cheer, it made me nervous for the fighters, it made me want them to win and it made me want them to heal.
I can't articulate how well made I feel the movie is but if you have any urge to see it, watch it! Just go watch it.
