One of the Best Movies of 2011

Rating: 8/10 (23 November 2012)

Somehow I missed this movie in 2011. Recently while browsing IMDb Top 250, this movie grabbed my attention. Boy, it was something. This is one of the best movies I've seen in recent times. It holds you from start to end. The punching & fighting scenes are bang on.
Star-Cast for the movie has done a great job. Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton go neck to neck. Where Tom plays an angry-raging character, Joel plays the sensible family fighter. Tom has way less shots in ring as compared to Joel, but they are solid. Jennifer Morrison also justifies to her role and looks appealing & attractive in the movie. For WWE fans, Kurt Angle provides some entertainment with his ring tactics.
Direction & Screenplay of Gavior O'Connor stands out in the movie. This surely goes as the biggest movie of his career. This movie deserves to be in Top List of All Time Boxing hits with Rocky Series, Cindrella Man, Million Dollar Baby etc.
There is hardly any part of the movie which you feel like skipping and grabbing a beer. If you are watching this, make sure you have all the Beers, Cold Drinks, Nachos, Pop Corns etc. handy before the start. Trust me, you will not feel like breaking the flow.
