This is completely plagued by cliches, I think any sports biopic will always be plagued with them, but at least it is not disappointing.
Chuck it's a charismatic film supported by a strong interpretation of Liev Schreiber.
Maybe it does not

Maybe it does not end up being so satisfying, but definitely for the most part it has good merits.

Other than these unique aspects of his history, this is a straightforward biopic about a typically-flawed character. Schreiber effectively inhabits the flawed fighter (which still doesn't make him likable), but it's Elizabeth Moss (as his wife) who creates the most compelling character. Ultimately, this is a by-the-numbers story told with brutish magnetism and fun period touches. Expand

It's just an average movie with a real life story behind it that could have been so much better. An at times it's cliche thanks to the recent years when a lot of 90's american hustle style movies came out. Overall it's good but it doesn't shine as it could. Expand
