Cinderella Man (2005)
February 24, 2010
Cinderella Gink is inspired by the true tale of depression-era boxer Jim Braddock (Russell Crowe), a sometimes-hopeful diverting dismiss heavyweight boxer forced into retirement after a debilitated hand dented his progress. Braddock takes daily dockside jobs to stand his wife, Mae (Renee Zellweger) and their children, while never totally abandoning his dream of boxing again. After a last-in invalidation, Braddock’s supervisor (Paul Giamatti) talks the promoters into letting Jim back in the ring against the substitute-ranked world contender; to everyone’s astonishment, he wins in the third round. In spite of being pounds lighter than his opponents and repeated injuries to his hands, Braddock continues to feud and induce. Carrying on his shoulders the hopes and dreams of the poor and disenfranchised, Braddock, dubbed the Cinderella Valet, faces his toughest ultimatum in Max Baer (Craig Bierko), the heavyweight guard of the domain, renowned for having killed two men in the ring.
