I enjoyed this movie for what it was.....a true comeback story of 2 brothers born and raised in Lowell, Mass. in the 80's. Mickey Ward played by Mark Wahlberg is a struggling boxer in the mid-80's trying to follow in his brothers footsteps, but with his family in his corner he's sure to fail. His conniving Mom and drugged up brother pulling him down, step in Amy Adams character that tells it to him plain and straight. I loved the role she played and think that her and Christain Bale deserve Oscars for their parts. Dickie's character is painful to watch as he self destructs with drugs and prison time.
Great story told well and delivers a great representation of redemption.
