Incredibly BAD

Rating: 1/10 (1 September 2009)

I am amazed at the positive ratings here. There is nothing new in this movie. It is a washed up pro-wrestler version of Rocky. In fact, it makes Rocky look like Shakespere. I feel sorry for Marisa Tomei. Mickey Rourke playing a washed up bum. Now, that's a stretch. This is a non stop cliché fest. Bad, bad, bad. Depressing without redemption or shedding any new light on any of the subject material or characters. A dark film (meaning they used no lighting on the sets)with only one reason to watch - Marissa Tomei. I still feel sorry for her. Some people say Mickey Rourke has talent, but I have not seen it, nor will I think you find evidence of it in this movie. There are so many other good films out there, please do not waste your time on this.
