To be a champion means to perceive and give everything you have to what you're trying to achieve, but most of the time you lose everything in the process. We follow the story of Jack La Motto, a boxer attempting to become champion. Unlike a film like Rocky, this is a gritty tale that is less about boxing and more about a man with anger issues destroying the lives of every loved one around him. A true classic that has a deep story to tell with an award-winning performance by De Niro, you might be pretty no more after going a round in this one though.
