The Fighter, is a drama about 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.
Terrific performances, dialogue and visuals. Its sense of authenticity is great, maybe the only negative was that I didn't find the fights that thrilling.
