After a string of defeats, Mickey Ward rediscovers his fighting will with help from trainer and half-brother Dicky (Oscar winner Christian Bale) -- a once-talented pugilist and small-town hero now battling drug addiction.
I liked it, it was raw, human, characters are struggling, the pain is well portrayed, external and internal. The family portrait is unique, dysfunctional. The actors are transformed, Christian Bale is crazy, I am always impressed about his chameleon appearance. It is a great movie. Now that I have seen "Warrior" tho, I would not know which one to recommend best.
