Real Steel, starring Hugh Jackman as a former boxer with one more shot at a title, is a surprising triumph of the spirit that will not disappoint audiences.
We say surprising because its premise of boxing robots is a little out there. Jackman’s performance is so strong, though, that he can carry the storyline.
As Charlie, a former boxer who came close to being a champ right as the sport of boxing moved from humans to robots who can inflect more damage – something for which the futuristic public was yearning – he’s a hero we can all get behind.
It’s a surprisingly fun and wild ride. Check out the trailer for the film below, then follow the link for Movie Fanatic’s official Real Steel review!
