i watched this movie for the sole benefit of watching a pre prison break wentworth miller in action, and i was not disappointed. in fact, with such a great cast, the likes of nicole kidman and antony hopkins, it is to be expected that there will be great acting, however the story line is slightly unbelievable.

studded with the cream of hollywood actors (antony hopkins, nicole kidman with a special appeareance by wentworth miller), this story was still somewhat of a disappointment as the storyline is a bit hard to swallow in some parts. still, all actors give stunning performances, and there are several heartbreaking scenes which really make this movie one worth watching

I confess I first watched this film for Nicole Kidman, and then once again for Wentworth Miller. It is a well-acted story, though rather unbelievable. A young man who is gifted at boxing raises to fame and falls in love..but he has a secret. He is born of a black family, but oddly has white skin. In a time where racism is rife, he is forced t choose between his family and his career and love. Recommended.
