    I've got it downloaded, I'll probably watch it while I'm waiting for Bradley-Alexander on Saturday.

    Thought it was a great film and well worth a watch. Obviously there are some big inaccuracies in regards to the boxing side of things but you have to expect that with a big hollywood film. The Gatti fights weren't included as they took place well after Micky was going through all the **** with his family so I have no problem with them not being included after seeing it. Bale was immense as Dickie.

    You'd be silly to let the boxing side of things ruin this film, well worth a watch.

    I pay £18 a month for my Internet connection and I think you'll find (if you bother to do your research!) that that legally entitles me to steal as much music, movies and software as I like.

    Probably.

    Looking forward to seeing it.

    Forget all the inaccurate stuff just take it for what it is and then ask yourself did it entertain you..

    I watched it last night, very enjoyable. As everyone is saying, Bale is brilliant. The film takes a few liberties with the facts but its a good, interesting film.
