Every dream deserves a fighting chance.

A review by Andres Gomez
Written by Andres Gomez on 2015-04-16
A really good movie like you don't easily find lately.

Great story, without getting into getting cheesy and great cat. Specially remarkable Christian Bale and Amy Adams but they all perform superb.

Just waiting for the second part ...
