Cinderella Man
2005
Russell Crowe stars as legendary boxer Jim Braddock in this riveting biopic created by the Academy Award-winning team of producer Brian Grazer, director Ron Howard and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind). Braddock garnered boxing glory during the Great Depression when he went toe to toe in a winner-takes-all bout with champion Max Baer, arriving on the scene at a time when Americans were woefully in need of a hero.

Wonderful pacing, acting and directing make this an enjoyable film through and through, simply put its one of the best sports movies in years. While the film holds no surprises it does a great job of making you emotionally invest in the characters.
