Annotation

Based on a true story. “Irish” Micky Ward aspires to become a professional boxer, but many obstacles come along the way to his rise to fame and success as a welterweight boxer. Those obstacles include the tensions between him and his crack-addicted brother, Dicky Eklund, a former boxer who’s now his trainer, and his domineering mother Alice. The Fighter is not fundamentally a story about boxing fundamentally; the dramatic and even romantic struggles of Micky remain at a foreground to propel the film so that even those who aren’t avid fans of boxing can find themselves entertained by it and perhaps even relating to what Micky goes through to fulfil his dreams in the midst of adversity. At a running time of 1 hour and 55 minutes, The Fighter is a rousing, captivating and heartfelt sports drama filled with terrific performances. It's a knockout!
