I found this to be predictable and basically "Seabiscuit" with a boxer instead of a horse. It did get quite good critical reviews but diod relatively poorly at the box office. Both leads are serviceable but it is interesting that the children do not grow as the film covers a number of years. Giamatti is the standout here.
