Schreiber is effectively cast as a mix of fun-loving lunk and self-sabotaging egotist....[Watts] is a brassy, savvy presence as Wepner’s bartender soulmate.
Boston Globe
Liev Schreiber is outstanding as the hulking, rough-edged, amiable and charismatic Wepner, whose primary skill in the ring was his Jake La Motta-esque ability to take a punch and keep on fighting, resulting in one of the most ignominious names in pugilistic history.

Rating: 3/5 --
The downfall isn't as satisfying as the setup, and a sudden burst of energy associated with the introduction of cocaine actually acts to slow things down, but it's worth seeing for the performances.

San Diego Reader
Falardeau maintains a crisp pace and seamlessly edits re-created scenes to look like grainy 16mm color with actual archival material....[Schreiber] gives Wepner’s rise and fall an earthy, human-sized appeal: he’s the macho screw-up with a glint in his eye...

From a general outline, the story here is fascinating and worth telling (especially on the big screen), but the journey of Chuck is full of bumps, bruises, and bleeding

There are lessons to be learned and we do so with [Chuck] while enjoying the chaos for laughs.

Product Description:
This biopic of 1970s boxer Chuck Wepner (played here by Liev Schreiber) details his humble beginnings as a liquor salesman in working-class New Jersey, his 15-round fight against Muhammad Ali (Pooch Hall) in 1975, and his brief brush with fame when Sylvester Stallone (Morgan Spector) used him as an inspiration for the character of Rocky Balboa. Naomi Watts, Ron Perlman, and Elisabeth Moss co-star. Directed by Philippe Falardeau.
