Talented ensemble cast? Check. Real-life story of overcoming adversity? Check. Critically acclaimed actor as the lead?

But in addition to upper cuts and toothless mongrels comes an unexpected level of heart and thematic poignance.

Do you remember when it was announced that Mark Wahlberg had been offered the title role in The Crow reboot?
