Rating: 7/10 (26 October 2015)

Even if this movie seems like a cliché Hollywood story at first, the audience clearly understand that is something more than that.The film describes a famous wrestler well known for his offensive type of fighting in the ring putting a lot of anger and speed.The typical rich star who enjoys a wealthy lifestyle with a wife and a child that love him starts falling apart after an incident of his beloved wife.Then everything changes and the story continues with the downfall of his career and life while he s trying to find the courage to keep up. The movie is very touching and the actors are so well selected that the result is a combination of powerful acting and a nice scenario that entice the viewer into the environment that the director wants to build. Hint:The body transformation of Jake Gyllenhaal is impressive.
