It's rough enough trying to make it as a boxer on the mean streets of Lowell, Massachusetts - but when your trainer is also your crack-addicted half brother, things get downright ugly. David O. Russell directs the story of working class hero "Irish" Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg), a real-life Rocky determined to find glory in the ring with (or without) the help of his half brother Dickie Eklund (Christian Bale) and tough-talking girlfriend Charlene (Amy Adams).
