This was a very enjoyable movie. It's a boxing picture which focuses mostly on the relationship of Mickey Ward (Mark Walberg) with his drug addicted brother Dick Eklund (Christian Bale) and the rest of his dysfunctional family.
It is said that Christian Bale lost 30 pounds for the role. He looked it. hard to believe this skinny anemic person was Batman. I feel too he should get a best Supporting Actor nomination for his role.
The fights scenes were great and the plot never slowed. This is a movie which benefits from being seen on the big screen. I give it an 8 out of 10.
Been a good month for movies for me.
