Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale star in this inspirational and powerful true story of two brothers who against all odds come together to train for a historic title fight that has the power to unite their fractured family and give their run-down town what it’s been waiting for: PRIDE. Struggling boxer Micky Ward has long been overshadowed by his older brother and trainer, Dicky, a local legend who is now battling his own demons. The explosive relationship of these brothers threatens to take them both down but at the heart of this story is a bond of blood that may just be their only chance of redemption.

Trailer
A boxer strives to fulfil his dream of becoming a pro, but must contend with a family disjointed by drugs and overbearing personalities to accomplish this feet.-
A rousing, compassionate, bare-knuckled ride powerful enough to score a KO.
Matt Mueller, Total Film -
A powerfully built, heartfelt film.
Mike Sheridan, Entertainment.ie -
The Fighter, its heart full to bursting, is an emotional powerhouse that comes close to spilling over. No sweat. Like Micky, this is a warrior's movie that rises to the bell.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone -
The Fighter's unpretentious kitchen-sink pragmatism makes this one of the more level-headed of Hollywood dramas about sport. It doesn't take end-credits footage of the real Eklund and Ward to persuade us we're watching something close to the pulse of reality. That's what makes this nervy, urgent film one of the most credible titles on this year's Oscars list.
Jonathan Romney, The Independent
