Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Good but not great
Want to see more fighting action, maybe a flashback of Bale's character fighting more? Still a very good movie.
Being a true life story makes this movie so appealing to me. This is a compelling true life story of Dicky Eklund and his brother Micky Ward.
Dealing with Dicky's lifelong drug addiction battles (documented in a 1990's HBO documentary) and his fall from fame, and Micky's family and career struggles, to become his own person and personal best. This movie will take you from the depths of sadness, to the joy of triumph in 115 minutes! You may want to watch the original HBO documentary as well "High on Crack street"! That is being renactedly filmed during this movie (it's still out there on media sites) Also watch the special features... it is very interesting to hear the backstage production information (especially about the actors). Finally... it is AMAZINGLY well acted by ALL. This movie should have been more well known!
