Review of Cinderella Man (2005) by Jon R — 15 Oct 2017
(2005) FILM: "CINDERELLA MAN".
Director: Ron Howard.
Lead Actors: Russell Crowe/Renee Zellweger.
MAGNIFICENTLY MESMERIZING!
BRUTALLY SPECTACULAR!
MONUMENTALLY ASTONISHING!
Packing even harder punches than legendary director Martin Scorsese's (1980) boxing epic "RAGING BULL" comes the larger than life fact based underdog story of New Jersey boxer James Braddock and the emotionally piercing heartfelt struggles that he and his family sustained during the Great Depression. A film critic from "TIME OUT" magazine said it best when he wrote "The affection for Braddock and his story can be felt in every frame and heard in every word." Ron Howard's fiercely compelling (2005) boxing epic "CINDERELLA MAN" is a genuine cinematic masterpiece that's hands down the absolute greatest boxing film of all time!
This critically acclaimed motion picture is an all-time best for the impressive and illustrious careers of both director Ron Howard (Apollo 13) and lead actor Russell Crowe (Gladiator). Crowe's magnetic and visceral portrayal of boxing underdog James Braddock is unforgettably phenomenal and to this very day still one of the most impeccable acting performances of all time.
