The Fighter (2010)
Biographical boxing film today from director David O. Russell which stars Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Melissa Leo and Amy Adams. A boxer struggles to make a career for himself while his older brother is a drug addict former boxer on the way down.
This film picked up two Oscars for acting and it is easy to see why as Bale and Adams in particular give really good performances. When it comes to the content of the film, it is a boxing film so there is not a lot that is revolutionary here. In the end this is a solid and slightly more mature entry in it's genre that is greatly helped by stand out performances.
4/5
