Good movie, great return of an actor

Rating: Null/10 (12 January 2009)

I watched The Wrestler with great anticipation, not knowing what to expect from Mickey Rourke. I've always liked Darren Aronofsky's work, from the beginning of his career, but I still wasn't sure.
Well, I thought that Darren Aronofsky did a great directing job.
But, really, I think we all watched this to see the return or come back of Mickey Rourke.
Rourke was really very good in this role. Whatever happened to his carer, I feel, made him a much better actor for it. I hope he gets a lot of recognition for this and continues to act. He is an actor worth watching.
Marisa Tomei has always been one of my favorites. A real darling. She is excellent in this movie.
So is Evan Rachel Wood, really fine actress.
I would recommend this one
