Real Steel - Movie Review

Real Steel starring Hugh Jackman is reviewed by Matt Atchity (editor-in-chief of Rottentomatoes.com), Christy Lemire (AP critic and host of Ebert Priesents at the Movies, check your local PBS listings) and Alonso Duralde (TheWrap.com and Linoleum Knife podcast). See what other critics are saying: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/real_steel/ Directed By: Shawn Levy Written By: John Gatins, Shawn Levy, Richard Mathis A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future where the sport of boxing has gone high-tech, Real Steel stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback. -- (C) Dreamworks Support What The Flick?! for FREE by doing your Amazon shopping through this link (bookmark it!) http://www.amazon.com/?tag=whattheflick-20
