Lowell, Massachusetts, with its ethnic enclaves and brick mills is the perfect breeding ground for the great American story: Jack Kerouac, the French-Canadian author of the iconic novel of the 1950's On the Road, famously came from there. And so did Dickie Ekland, an Irish fighter who knocked out Sugar Ray Leonard in 1978, or so his legend goes. In "The Fighter," David O. Russell's riveting new movie, we learn that Eklund -played by the handsome Christian Bale turned gaunt, his cheeks hollowed out, his teeth bad-- was a crack head. Thinking a film within the film documents his comeback in the ring, Eklund has a rude awakening.
