Boxer “Irish” Micky Ward’s unlikely road to the world light welterweight title. His Rocky-like rise was shepherded by half-brother Dicky, a boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded in life after nearly being KO’d by drugs and crime.

Finally got around to watching The Fighter with my wife last night. Very well done movie, liked it quite a bit. It’s obviously Christian Bale’s and Melissa Leo’s show here, though everyone else does a capable job as well. Mark Wahlberg’s performance was nicely understated, and a good counterpoint to Bale’s manic presence.
Melissa Leo is just brilliant, even though you spend most (if not all) of the movie despising her character.
