Very formulaic and predictable. There is not a single scene in here that will come as a surprise if you have seen more than 10 movies in your life. With that being said, great performances by both Gynenhall and Whittaker carry this film. The boxing is hit or miss, but it's hard to make boxing look good in movies unless you're using stuntman or professionals. It's a very noticeable difference in the scene where Victor Ortiz has a cameo and does some brief sparring. The training segments are very good and you see some of what a boxer goes through that a movie would normally skip over. I still enjoyed it and think it's worth seeing.
