Strong performance from Bale and solid support from Leo and Adams, lively direction, and a satisfying upward slope at the end, but to get to it you have to go through about an hour or so of watching an uncharismatic mumbly whiny Wahlberg getting pushed around by losers and bullies, and inexplicably winning the loving support of sparky, smart Adams. And even then, there's not much substance: the story is 'boxer is shit, grows a spine and then does well'.
