A docudrama about the boxer Micky Ward. Being a boxing fan, I have nothing but respect for Micky Ward and rate the Gatti-Ward trilogy of bouts among the best ever. Now as for the movie itself- it was 'too real' and I found it to be mostly depressing. That aside, the mechanics of the movie were good except for the actual boxing scenes.. there were some spots where it 'looks' fake. I would imagine the actual family of Micky Ward is less than thrilled with their portrayal, especially the females. The movie timeline ends just prior to the first of the Gatti matches. One thing was made very clear however, and that was the loyalty and love of the two brothers. I hope the royalties will make this worth the grief I'm sure it will cause.
