This is one of the best movies I have seen this year. The script was wonderful, and the cast was spot-on! I know I just accused Mark Wahlberg of being just...Mark Wahlberg in every movie he does, but in this film he was so well suited to the role, and we were all impressed with the fact that he obviously learned how to box.
Christian Bale made me very uncomfortable in the role of Dicky. He played an addict at rock-bottom, and he completely wore his character. Amy Adams as Charlene was sweet and tough and knew exactly who she was. I see many Oscar nods for this incredible film.
Bottom line: I believed everyone in this film. I was emotionally involved from the first frame, and I was sorry when the credits rolled.
