This is a brilliant movie, intense fight scenes, profoundly moving story. It draws you in -- if you have a partner you will feel closer watching the film together. Also, it depicts working class culture beautifully.
The Wrestler: a truly amazing film with the spectacular return of Mickey Rourke and the redemption of both Evan Rachael Wood and Marisa Tomei. the direction is amzing and the film itself is just so great. for that it receives 5 stars
Depressing but great-this could have been Mickey Rourke's alternate life.
EXCELLENT!!!..really stuck with me,realistic,sad,great acting...will remember this movie for a long time......RS
excellent comeback for Mickey, I used to be his fan during the good old days, no doubt for OSCAR!
I wasnt really expecting much but I was blown away by Rourke's acting and Tomei's performance. One of the best films I have seen in years.
OSCAR WINNING ROURKE PERFORMANCE,,,, ROCK ON ROURKE
Best movie I have seen in a long time. Great acting and a heartfelt story, loved it!
Rourke is totally believable as a professional wrestler. He has the right look, build, and voice. An amazing performance. Plot is fairly thin and not at all unique but Rourke steals the show. And Marisa Tomei is also excellent as a stripper with a heart. Not as good as Slumdog but a fine film and I hope Rourke wins the Oscar.
Excelent performances.
