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.

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
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 !
