Cinderella Man

9/10

Cinderella Man is the inspiring true story about James Braddock a boxer during the Great Depression. Braddock (Russell Crowe) is a down and out has been barely getting by, and trying to support his family. He goes every day to the docks looking for work and sometimes gets a fight at night. Braddock gets back into boxing and trains to fight Max Baer the champ who has previously killed two men in the ring. This movie is superb in almost every way. The story is gripping and amazing, the acting is brilliant, and the boxing in intense and very real. This movie has a lot of heart and I highly recommend it.

MPAA Rating:

PG-13 for intense boxing violence and some language.
