Mickey “Irish” Wahlberg is boxing under the heavy shadow of his crack-smoking brother, renown for supposedly knocking down Suger Ray Leonard. Based on the true story, the film is less about actual boxing and more about the emotional tug-of-war between a deluded family and one man’s self-respect. David O. Russell directs the movie with confidence, particularly with the way he handles the televised boxing scenes. The true strength in the film are the knockout performances (a little boxing humour there). Melissa Leo and Christian Bale validate their Golden Globe wins while Wahlberg does what Walberg does best: being Mark Wahlberg.
BETTER THAN INCEPTION!!!
