Review of Cinderella Man (2005) by Dustin G — 23 Oct 2011
Superb film from a superb filmmaker. I'm not ashamed to say this one had me in tears a number of times.
Russell Crowe is such a force of talent, he truly embodies and becomes the roles he chooses and pulls them off perfectly. You don't believe you're watching Russell Crowe play Jim Braddock, you believe you're watching Jim Braddock.
The long running time isn't a bother as the film is so watchable and without filler, it breezes by in no time.
Just a very touching, inspiring, well told, exceedingly well made film. It doesn't best Raging Bull or The Fighter as far as boxing movies are concerned, but it's up there.
