Great Movie Great Acting Rourke should have gotten Oscar

Rating: 9/10 (20 September 2010)

I have to say without Mickey Rourke this movie would have bombed. I know a lot of people are disappointed with the ending but sometimes human nature is unpredictable and that is what we didn't expect out of this film. The unpredictability is what makes this film worth watching. Mickey Rourke is worth watching especially Marisa Tomei. Life is a tragedy if you don't know how to live it yourself. Yes this movie is a tragedy but that does not mean you can't take the good from the bad. Either way for anyone give it a try. I do know that a lot of people like this movie because of its depiction of wrestling as a sport and its realism toward what happens to some wrestlers when they fade into obscurity. Mickey Rourke should won the Oscar hands down. Everyone I suggest you rent this movie and see how you feel after watching this film.
