Jeremy Heilman

Walsh trusts his viewers to value ability and wit over humility and pathos, resulting in one of the most roundly entertaining of all sports films.

John J. Puccio

...has all the exuberance, excitement, romance, and high good humor that is missing in many of today's so-called inspirational sports films.

Romanticized Jim Corbett boxing fable; Flynn is still fun to watch.

Superior -- if largely fact-free -- biopic with Flynn as the character should have been rather than as he was.
