Cinderella Man -
I keep giving Russel Crowe a chance, because he impressed me once, with that movie about the cigarette company...the one time he was actually good. But the problem is that he peaked then... and hasn't improved since....
This is a movie with no twists, no surprises, nothing that hasn't been offered in a movie about boxing before. What? A movie about a comeback? A down and outer fights his way back to the top, literally, overcoming all kinds of difficulties... Fighting for his kids and wife... and for himself...?
Come on?! Are we still making movies with these tired cliches and themes? I like Ron Howard, I really do, but I was very disappointed with this effort.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
5/10
