It's been awhile so I should be good for a few here. If you are one of those people who like to catch all the oscar contenders before the big night, make sure you save time for this one which would be worthy of a nomination even if they hadn't expanded to 10 nominees. Mark Wahlberg is solid, but Christian Bale is the main draw here giving another outstanding performance. You don't need to be a boxing fan to appreciate this but knowing a bit of the background beforehand will enhance your appriciation.
