Trailer: http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2330986777/+ Mark Wahlberg's type of movie (I didn't like him in The Other Guys with Will Ferrell)
+ more of a movie about family than boxing, which I love because there are some great scenes with family brawls
+ not much stereotyping in this movie with Amy Adams being a bartender with attitude =)
+ what a performance from Christian Bale. He sacrifices a lot for the roles he plays (lost over 100 lbs for this movie) and does a great job portraying his character (Oscar worthy)
+ heartwarming scenes for anyone who has grown up in a dysfunctional family
- predictable, but that's pretty much the only weakness
