Featured review
An OK film
For starters, this film was shot in Toronto, Canada. Although none of this film took place in Toronto or anywhere near the Canadian border, it was shot there. I had many problems with this movie. Like its location, the actors they got for the film were wrongly picked. While Jon Favreau did a wonderful job as Marciano, why did they get Penelope Ann Miller as his wife? Yes, she is a very beautiful and talented actress but she was wrong for the role. Why? Have you ever seen what Rocky Marciano's wife looked like? Nothing at all like Penelope. Once you see what she looked like, you will know where I am coming from.
Just like ALI starring Will Smith, this movie is missing something. It does not tell the entire story of the fighter, only a period of the fighters life. While much is left out, there is still a good portion of his life mentioned, and for that I recommend this film to fans only. To those looking to do research, rent the documentary and leave this film on the shelf.
