Cinderella Man (DVD)

http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0352248/

Biopic of James J Braddock, a heavyweight boxer from the 1920's & 30's. The film tells the true story of how he and his family struggled, through the depression after the stock market crash. Superb perfomances by Russell Crowe (James J Braddock) and Renee Zellweger, who plays his wife. The film is 2 hours and 20 minutes long, but it keeps you riveted the whole time. It focuses largely on his and his family's struggle through the depression, but also leaves enough film time for his rise to glory again. Even for non-boxing fans, this is a great watch, and is thoroughly recommended.

Best DVD I've seen so far this year.

A must see. 8/10
