Also Starring: Famous People or Future Famous People. There’s so many there’s a list near the bottom
Sometimes it feels like a writer had a really interesting idea, but it ends up being Jurassic Park — they get so caught up in wondering IF they can, that they forget about wondering if they SHOULD. That’s what this film’s ending is. Like, I see the skill in the execution, but maybe they should have thought through it a little more.
Ending aside, this film is decent; you care about the characters, and the boxing matches are good. It won like four big Oscars (Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Director) so it clearly did SOMETHING right
Virtually EVERYONE in this is a future famous person - Anthony Mackie, Micheal Peña, Jay Baruchel, Mike Colter. And if they’re not a future famous person, then they were probably already decently famous (Morgan Freeman, Margo Martindale, Hilary Swank).
I like it better than Gran Torino, Eastwood’s OTHER big “flea-bitten old guy takes a student” film from the 2000’s.
