Review

Runyon said this was the greatest boxing story in history. Not rally. Ron "boring true story" Howard manages to make it anodyne. Russel Crowe is too light for a heavyweight. And Zelwegger is nothing more than a cyper of a loyal wife. The worst bit is the tacked on flimsy story of the hero's friend, who from one bonding scene goes to funeral in the next, it seems it must have been something about organised labour but its just a flash. Oh well, the boxing scenes have a little thrill about them, a taste of human blood. Otherwise a great story dulled.
