A really good movie about brother boxers Micky Ward (Mark Walhberg) and Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale). It starts off sort of being a movie about making a movie about Dicky's big comeback. Then it turns out the movie-within-the-movie is actually about crack cocaine and what it does to people, and Dicky is their prime example. But it's not really a movie about making a movie, that's just a sub-plot, the real story is about Micky's rise to the championship. The only bad part of the movie were the fight scenes - they were pure Hollywood. I wish just once Hollywood would make a fight movie with a realistic boxing match.
