Well done, but being honest it's basically "The fighter" with a twist

Rating: Null/10 (4 December 2011)

I have to say I really enjoyed this film and I'm not into movies about fights. I don't get why people in the academy always love them but this one is really amazing. It doesn't have many dialogues but Tom Hardy's performance is outstanding. I wanted to cry during the final fight. But I have to be honest and say that I have a weird relationship with my older brother and that's why this one hit me hard. Feeling like your older brother bailed on you is not something you can easily forget and Hardy portrays that so well. But then again, it happened the same with "The fighter" because at the bottom is the same dynamic the most important part of the movie; but the latter has more substance and the only reason why I don't say it is better than this one it is because it had Mark Wahlberg in it.
And this one has a Conan O'brien look alike :)
