Product Information
Director Ron Howard and star Russell Crowe re-team after their Oscar-winning collaboration, A BEAUTIFUL MIND, for this rousing biopic. It's the true story of boxer James J. Braddock (Russell Crowe), a heavyweight contender from New Jersey nicknamed "the Bulldog of Bergen," who lost his fame and fortune during the Great Depression only to win the hearts of the downtrodden during a spectacular comeback. Crowe is masterful as Braddock, with Renee Zellweger playing his wife, and Paul Giamatti as his loyal friend and manager, Joe Gould. The sharply observed script devotes a significant amount of screen time to the domestic struggles of Braddock's family; developing character and place with a wealth of period detail, so when the comeback starts, the payoff is enormous. The matches themselves are unforgettable: raw, intense, riveting, with more than a passing stylistic nod to Martin Scorsese's groundbreaking 1980 film, RAGING BULL. Though it may sound a bit formulaic, one should remember that this is the true and "original" underdog boxer story from which all others hail, and it's riveted together with true craftsmanship. Howard has a real skill for plucking audience members' heartstrings, and the performances are first-rate. Giamatti and Crowe play off each other in a rapport perfectly suited to their roles, especially at the ring, where the one's manic intensity makes a perfect contrast to the other's warrior grace.Product Identifiers

A Second Chance
An inspirational story of a second chance based on a life story about heavyweight boxer James J. Braddock. Great casting; Crowe, Zellweger, Giamatti, McGill, and Bierko nailed their respective roles. Another Ron Howard triumph!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

May be best boxing movie ever.
The setting and scenery gives a person the one of best looks at the Depression Era from a handful of well-defined characters. The boxer's kids and wife have to live through the fade of a proud boxer's career as injuries have left him a shadow of his original boxing self. Gentleman JIm Braddock takes almost any job, even with little work available. A random fight turns up even though the boxing commission has pulled his license. Braddock discovers that from months of not fighting, his injuries have healed and fights his way back to his become a real Rocky and win or lose, he becomes a real people's champion. His manager almost steals the movie. Russell Crowe stars and Renee Zellweger becomes his "Adrian" A little corny and squeezing every bit of sentimentality it can, based on real-life "hero" Jim Braddock...Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Film
Wonderful film about second chances. It takes place in the boxing world. I much preferred this to "Raging Bull", "Rocky", and "Great White Hope". Don't get me wrong...those three films are fantastic.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Moving film about struggle and triumph
Based on actual people, this film was moving in its portrayal of family and overcoming hardship. Russell Crowe gave an exceptional performance as Jim Braddock, while Renee Zellweger gave a very tender performance as his wife. The. The atmosphere the tone and setting were very Vivid and accurate. The only setback was making Max Baer look like a villain which wasn't the case in real life. But overall it is an exceptionally moving film!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
