I should start by saying that I have never actually sat through a film about boxing before - (except for The Champ, in which I am usually sobbing by about 20 mins in as I know what is coming) so was a little worried that is was going to be all about a sport I did not understand, however...
I really enjoyed this film, the acting was fantastic and I can see now why Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Melissa Leo have all got Oscar nominations - though a little confused as to why Mark Wahlberg didn't. The film is thankfully not all about the boxing, but is instead more about the family dynamics and how one brothers crack addiction affects those around him. I would highly recommend this film.
