    The boxing advisors for the film were Rob Palmer and nutjob.

    Could you imagine... They'd put themselves in the starring roles.

    Rob would be too busy speculating about the budget for the film and everybody's salaries

    It's a good film, Bale is fantastic. I think the casting agents must have borrowed former guests of The Jerry Springer Show to play Micky's sisters.

    A really good film. The best boxing film of the past couple decades anyway.

    Great movie from an entertainment point of view although a bit lacking in accuracy. Anything which raises boxing's profile gets my vote. Bale is fantastic as ever. Jonathan Ross is a **** :deal

    I really enjoyed it, some of the attention to detail is incredible but then they call the Neary fight welterweight and portray Shea as arrogant and rude when in truth he was incredibly respectful before facing Micky. Neary's Irish accent is priceless. There are a couple of cameo's from Micky himself too.

    I did think Bale was just incredible. To go from batman to that is tremendous acting- the guy might be a twat but he's a class actor.
