Jeffrey Schrembs review of The Fighter 2010

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2011)

The cast is...exceptional. The movie is...wonderful. The plot line, based upon a true story, is well acted and well paced. The characters are believable and do not hide away from their flaws, burdens, and even family infighting. Very seldom do you have one major movie star who so encaptures the essence of his/her character that you really forget they are in fact...actors. In this movie the main characters are so believable at times it appears as a documentary. This is EXACTLY what movies should be about...the struggle of real Americans using the talents they are given...and never giving up. Take care and may God bless you. Jeff Schrembs
