Storyline:
The Fighter, is a drama about boxer "Irish" Micky Ward's unlikely road to the world light welterweight title. His Rocky-like rise was shepherded by half-brother Dicky, a boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded in life after nearly being KO'd by drugs and crime.Review:
A truly inspiring movie. It's a kind a movie that makes you believe you can do anything you want, achieve any goal if you believe in it. Sure, there are a lot of sport films where the underdog ends up winning, but what makes this so much better is that this is a true story about a real person and the problems and obstacles he must overcome till his final triumph. Great characters played by a great cast. With all do respect to Mark Wahlberg, Amy Adams, Melissa Leo and others the best performance was that of Christian Bale as Dicky Eklund. Absolutely brilliant. Be sure to watch it!Rating: 8/10 Buy on Amazon: The Fighter (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy)
