Christian Bale in this movie, takes on an aggressive and rash behaviour that leads him to jail at the point of time when his brother, played by Mark, was in need to train up for an upcoming fight match. Mark, plays Micky Ward, that uses a one punch knock out blow in his fights. So he would simply block off hits all the way till the opponent is tired before he gives the knock out blow. Seems impressive. The front few scenes were merely showing how Mark gains his confident from a fighter that lacks experience to someone who wins the championship. So, the actual boxing match, just like many other movies like Tekken and Karate Kid that features fighting matches, would be right at the end. And after the match, you know the movie is over.
Amy Adams plays Mark's girlfriend and an irritant to Mark's family. She's hot and rowdy. There is a scene with Mark and her making out in lingerie.
This movie was shot in Massachusetts, USA, so the houses, cars and environment is a little vintage.
Rating 3/5.
