Hunting is the rise of the Massachusetts-born Boxer Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg) and his struggle to be a champion of the ring while coping with his coach with crack / brother Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale) and insistent, "stage mother" Manager, Mama Alice Ward (Melissa Leo).

"The pride of Lowell" Dicky Eklund is being documented by HBO for a special so-called about his career to return. Then the cameras follow around, meet us his young half-brother Micky Ward. He is also a boxer, but was not as successful in the ring as his brother was. Micky deeply admires and relies on Dicky; It takes him her official coach.

In a fight in Atlantic City, Micky opponent aborts due to influenza. The only way that Micky will earn money is if he boxes the only other available guy, Mike Mungin. The proponent States that Mike "just got on the couch", which means that it was not training and is out of shape. Micky fell in the world welterweight to approximately 145 pounds weight range; Mike Mungin weighs about 20 pounds, thus allowing the same category of boxing as Micky.

The first Alice and Dicky are completely against the idea. They begin calling Ward fight. Listening to his manager and trainer, Micky decided to accept the fight and is quite severely beaten. He was offered a year-round opportunity to train in Las Vegas because of its potential, but they had to leave his family. Ultimately, his loyalty is too strong and it decreases.

Micky Charlene girlfriend (Amy Adams) convinced him that his mother and brother are not looking for her best interests. Together, they with his family and tell them that Micky is thought to go to Vegas to form. Dicky ensures his brother that he will get the money for him to train at home. Unfortunately, Dicky is going about it in the right direction. It ends by prison and Micky is wounded and decides to take a break from boxing.

Then the HBO special on Dicky will air, but it is not on his return. It is a documentary on how crack addiction ruins your life. The Ward-Eklund family is devastated by reveal, even if they were all aware of the problem of the Dicky. Micky uses this reality as a boost to return to the ring and make his family proud.

Father of Micky seeks the help of a local taxi cab owner and a friend of the Conference of the parties to become his new manager and new Simulator. There is a condition; Micky can no longer have dealings with Alice or Dicky. Micky accepts and begins his training. It does well in a few local struggles until he finally has a shot at the title.

As the title fight moves, Dicky is released from prison and wants to train his brother for the game. Alice is convinced that Micky will forget all about his promise of works is not with them. Micky Ward had no great success when it was under the influence of his mother and brother. He will break his promise or it will paste with the winning team that has achieved this far? He will be able to rise above the image of a local road with the addict crew worker crack for a brother and make her proud family?

the fighter is based on the true story of the rise of Boxer Micky Ward. Once I completed the Hunter, I found myself discuss forward. I was surprised by how much I liked the film, even if I find the sport of boxing disturbing to look at. It is something on the hits of powerful precision and the thinking of the pain that accompanies these hits. (Fortunately, there is not many horrific scenes in this film.) Christian Bale, who won the Oscar for best actor for this role, done a remarkable job as Dicky Eklund! He played a drug addict in Ghent, squirrely, which is still a nice guy, eager help his brother to succeed. Mark Wahlberg will disappoint as should be just in the role perfectly. I don't know think that Melissa Leo deserved an Oscar for the best supporting actress but eh... she got it. His performance was a really amazing me. Overall, I found the Hunter to be a pleasant film, even if it is not something that would normally choose to see. I would certainly recommend to anyone if they have any interest in the sport itself because it gives an interesting overview of the rise of the real life of a man at the top of the world of boxing. In addition, if you stay tuned for the generic, you get to see the real Micky Ward and Dicky Eklund as a little pleasant bonus.
