Stands up to all the expectations

Rating: 9/10 (4 February 2009)

when i first heard of this movie getting all these great reviews i wondered what it was. i saw that it was called the wrestler i thought how could this movie actually be any good, i then went to see this film. i was blown away. the way that it was shot was amazing. a lot of tracking shots and single camera scenes. mickey rourke gave an outstanding performance as a washed up wrestler who tries to turn it around.
the story was great and very character driven. marisa tomei was amazing and beautiful. this a film that came out of nowhere and you should definitely go see it immediately
