About this movie

Dicky Ecklund (Christian Bale) is a former boxing hero who squandered his talents and threw away his shot at greatness. Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg), his half brother, is the struggling journeyman boxer who spent his life living in his big brother's shadow. The Fighter is inspired by the true story of these two brothers who, against all the odds, come together to train for a historic title bout that will unite their fractured family, redeem their pasts and, at last, give their hard-luck town what it's been waiting for: pride. © 2010 Fighter, LLC.

Ratings and reviews

I get a headache hearing those women speak with that accent. No offense to women in Boston, my ears are ignorant to that accent and I can't say anything positive about it. Just the way I feel, not even saying it's right... oh yeah good movie :)

Acting was great, especially from (obviously cause he won an oscar) Christian bale. The action was cool too

Good action. Poor script. But for 25 cents can't complain.
