Well see I heard Kari that people who were not into Russell Crowe like myself enjoyed the movie like I did, and thought he did a wonderful job, I have to agree Renee does make some really funny facial expressions in all her movies, it suited her in Bridget Jones diary but not in every movie she does.

And I just hate boxing, because it is too bloody and cruel for me, but it was what the movie was about, and the fights were exciting, i laughed as I looked at my hubby's facial expressions and body movements as the fights were on, he was grimacing and it was a good distraction from watching the blood and gore, not that it is overly done, but I just tended to look away.

I think you will enjoy the movie a lot then.This was an advance screening, it has not even opened here in NZ yet at the theatres, no previews or adverts too that was good.
