Review of Chuck (2017) by Bob M — 04 May 2017
Just got back from seeing this movie in an advanced screening.
It's a very watchable and interesting movie about Chuck Wepner, a boxer whose high point in life was lasting 15 rounds with Ali right after the Rumble in the Jungle.
This is not Rocky or Cinderella Story or Ali (the movie) where the title character reaches his peak at the end but rather a complex tale of Chuck Wepner's flawed and fouled up personal life which he manages to redeem himself with marrying his second wife and go on with life. It's a very interesting and intricate personal tale.
The movie is dominated by Liev Schreiber's title character and both Moss and Watts play effective supporting roles in their own way.
It's a movie definitely worth watching and it goes pretty fast without much dull moments.
