Bryan Lienesch89 - Christian Bale is nothing short of phenomenal in this movie. If for no other reason, watch it to watch him.
Dan O'Neill85 - The Fighter may be a story you have seen before, but the inspired direction, and amazing ensemble performances from this cast, make this treat, a fun-filled, entertaining boxing movie, that made us realize we missed this genre too much.
