Here's to another emotional boxing movie.

I didn't want to like it, but I did. I even she'd a few tears...

Move over Rocky, and make way for the latest champion! Between phenomenal cinematography within its fight scenes and a pretty darned good story (w/multiple suitable subplots to boot), this movie will pose as a serious Oscar contender for several categories including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor (Whitaker), and Best Supporting Actress (Hope's daughter).

Very good. Great characters. Good story. Exceptional camera work.
