A thoroughly rousing & completely engrossing tale of one of the greatest Cinderella stories in sports history. The story is truly fantastic & the masterful film making leading up to and taking us to the big fight is inspiring film making to be sure. What's a boxing film without great fight scenes & the fight scenes here are really something special, beautifully shot, directed & edited. A real great piece of film making. Russel Crowe plays a nice guy through all of his & his families harrowing challenges. A unique charcter wonderfully portrayed by Crowe. Renee Zellweger really shows just how fine of an actor she really is playing Crowe's characters wife, a very memorable performance. Like all great films all the multitude of parts really have come together to deliver a very fine film. One of the very best boxing films out there. A story of survival and the triumph of the human spirit. A rousing story that will have you on a high after viewing this one.
