I have always loved films which are on boxing and boxers. But i think this movie is let down and overrated. Its also about his relation b/w Billy Hope and his daughter but the movie was bit dragging. It is also not free from the usual clichés you expect in this kinda films. It was also irritating to see Gyllenhall doing this role, i think someone else would have conveyed the role better. The acting of the supporting actors was good especially Oona Lawrence, and Forest Whittaker not in his best. Background music was was quite good and the cinematography average. Altogether the movie is worth a watch but not worth remembering.
