Real Steel: A REAL man

Real Steel (PG-13)
Director: Shawn Levy
Stars: Hugh Jackman, Evangeline Lily and Dakota Goyo
Trailer: http://youtu.be/3S8a180uYBM

A futuristic film where robot boxing is a popular sport and centered on a struggling promoter (Hugh Jackman) who thinks he's found a champion in a discarded robot. During his hopeful rise to the top, he also discovers he has an 11-year-old son who wants to know his father. The film also brings to our screen the theme of romance through the lives of the robots, overall giving the audience a mixed bag of emotions. 

The scenes that acknowledge Jackman's emotional attachment with his family members, in particular his son are the most expressive and touching in the film. He become a real father and real man, who can afford the deep love.Hugh Jackman has once again outdone himself, he has executed his role as struggling promoter ever so convincingly. The child actor, Dakota Goya has to also be commended for his role as Max Kenton (the son of Hugh Jackman in the film). After his role in this film, I can definitely say he is an actor that we should look out for in the near future.

Verdict: The film is overall aesthetically pleasing, with acting of high caliber (quite obvious with the star cast compromising of the one and only Hugh Jackman). "Robo" down to your nearest cinema and check it out this family entertainer.

7.5 out of 10 stars.
