His life is like a Hollywood plot anyway so it always going to be an interesting film. In some ways the story is more fantastic than fiction in how he regained the heavyweight title at the relatively old age of 45 and after retiring from boxing 10 years previously, it&#039;s something that Stallone didn&#039;t dare do with Rocky Balboa because he thought it wasn&#039;t believable (although this ending was filmed and made the DVD extras).What I particularly liked about this film was how it was straightforward and non-gimmicky, a bit like George himself. The plot is told in a linear fashion and there are no flashbacks and flash forwards which seems to be overused in many biopics these days. The cast is excellent and the boxing scenes have energy and excitement. I absolutely loved this film.</blockquote>
