About this movie

Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale star in this inspirational and powerful true story of two brothers who against all odds come together to train for a historic title fight that has the power to unite their fractured family and give their run-down town what it's been waiting for: PRIDE. Struggling boxer Micky Ward has long been overshadowed by his older brother and trainer, Dicky, a local legend who is now battling his own demons. The explosive relationship of these brothers threatens to take them both down but at the heart of this story is a bond of blood that may just be their only chance of redemption. © 2010 RELATIVITY MEDIA, LLC.

Ratings and reviews

Christian Bale does his usual drop 5 stone to play a crack head training his brother Marky Mark who's surprisingly good in this, actually remember seeing the documentary about the guy. BTW- It was definitely a trip lol

Brilliant movie. Mark is one of my favourite actors. 4 out of 5 👍🏻

One of those really great movies that you can't just sit back and enjoy. The performances are the great, the story is great and the entire movie is just great.
