What a great movie.

Mickey Ward was one of my favorite boxers, and I watched him fight a number of times. They got the fight scenes right, right down to his signature left hook body shot.

Too bad the rest of his life was such a mess.
My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.

    Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
    Ron loves a film = don't even rent.

    Christian Bales performance in this was unreal. Hard to imagine that people live like that.
