Mark Wahlberg stars in this inspirational docudrama that explores the remarkable rise of Massachusetts-born, junior welterweight title winner 'Irish' Micky Ward. A determined pugilist whose career in the ring was shepherded by his loyal half-brother, Dicky (Christian Bale) -- a hard-living boxer-turned-trainer whose own career in the ring was nearly sent down for the count due to drugs and crime -- perennial underdog Irish Micky rebounded from a disheartening series of defeats to win both the WBU Intercontinental Lightweight title and the WBU Light Welterweight title thanks to a fierce combination of determination and hard work. David O. Russell (Three Kings) directs from a script by 8 Mile's Scott Silver and Paul Attanasio (The Bourne Ultimatum).

A movie with very forgettable characters

Nenad from Dublin, 25 Apr 2012

Very little to comment in this film, its not awful it just does not try that hard. Very formulaic story about characters which you have no interest. Boy meets girl; boy and girl clash with family especially elder brother; happy ending.
