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

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.

A great film about the true ups and downs of life. Amy Adams steals it with an outstanding performance
