Watched this last week. I thought Christian Bale played the part very very well, Mark Wahlberg was good, but Christian stole the show.
9/10 for this film.

Yeah cracking film,wish we had of seen him fighting Gatti tho!!!
just noticed this. christian bale was superb as dickie eklund. i have to say tho not including the gattie fights in the story didnt really bother me, i think so many only caught on to ward as a result of the first fight with gatti and then obviously II and III but from a boxing fan those fights were right at the end of his career. there was so much more to him than those fights so i think it was more important to focus on what happened before thse great fights. and a nice ending to see him win a version of a world title made for a great anding to a story.
Yes good movie - lots of Youtube clips of Ward v Gatti, two hard old school fighters !
