MCT:May 12, 2008they really didn't have to put actors like josh h and samuel l jackson in this movie
this was a rather disapointing movie but hey I'm a fan of josh h so I had to see it -
MCT:May 12, 2008In the technical sense, the film is well directed and edited. The cast is spectacular with solid performances by all; including Alan Alda and Samuel L. Jackson who simply put is spectacular. The characters are very believable and no one actor overshadows another... the film has balance, is well paced and does not confuse the viewer.
While this move is set around a newspaper and boxing, this is really a movie about fathers and sons. It embraces the understanding that we are not all perfect and that it is OK not to be. It dwells at the dilemma of what fathers must do when their children find out that they have flaws, and the pressure sons have to live up to the heroics of their fathers. This is the kind of film that you will go and see and then talk about for hours afterwards. Highly recommended! -

An awesome movie - very thought provoking and touching. Great acting and a very neat story with some good life themes.

MCT:May 4, 2008I'm not much of a Sam Jackson fan but he did a good job in this movie. Not really a sports flix, Good Story Base. Worth the buy or the Rent, Will add to my collection.

I have to thank the perivious comment for saving me alot of typing this movie was far below my expectations i was very disapointed I went into the theater expecting another underdog story. Remember the Titans-esque. I didn't get that. What I did get was a rambling of facts, opinions, and thoughts all roled in to a pretty boring movie. Samuel L. Jackson was amazing, as always. Definetly a different character than he usually plays. Josh Hartnett was eh. He always seems like he tries to ride by on his looks and not his talent. Next to SLJ, he looked horrible. And Kathryn Morris... boring. Stick to TV, Kathryn. This may be a harsh review, but this movie was not up to par in my opinion. Takes way too long and sidetracks way too much. I will admit, I cried. It is hard not to. But that doesn't make a movie. All-in-all, great movie to rent, not a great movie to spend 10 bucks on. Wait for the DVD!! Trust my not much boxing in it either!!
