Liev Schreiber portrays the Jersey palooka (hated nickname: The Bayonne Bleeder) who went 15 rounds (minus about 80 seconds) with Muhammad Ali and inspired another palooka from across the Hudson River to make a movie about a palooka with heart who gets an improbable title shot against a brash, mouthy, poet of a fighter and wins moviegoers' hearts while losing the fight.
This one is nonfiction and thus a lot less appealing, but Schreiber and director Philippe Falardeau make it one memorable sad bastard movie.
