I personally enjoy these biopics and found Meg Ryan to hold her own and Omar Epps to be convincing as well. Would recommend over much of the other crap that seems to make the Top rentals list.

If you like the world of boxing then you will love this movie and it is even better since it is based on truth. The behind the scenes is good too. They should have had someone tougher than Meg Ryan ...

I don't care about boxing or social injustice. I saw the movie for one reason, that was to see Meg Ryan who was just outstanding.

An absolute miscast. Ryan does an awful job and is not believeable with that accent. Don't waste your time with this one.
