A fairly straight up-and-down boxing biography of James Braddock that couples as a period drama. Good performances throughout.
Such a good depiction of what the Great Depression was like and the boxing matches were very entertaining
Usually sports movies aren’t my jam but this one is just too good.
One of Crowe’s best performance. A movie about determination and defeating the odds. It is predictable but still a wonderful sports film
Was forced to watch this in 8th grade when we were learning about the Great Depression but I ended up watching it a second time.Good movie
Loved it, had a great story and lovely soundtrack. Fight scenes were so intense and eye catching.
Why does everyone talk about Rocky, but not this movie? This film is far superior. Crowe is great & the story is impactful and satisfying.
I was hesitant going into this film because I’m not a huge sports movie fan, but this one blew me away. Absolutely in love.
One of the best movies I've ever seen. Incredible acting informs a great story. Must see.
Frickin’ great inspirational boxing movie set during the depression.
