I didn't expect this, WOW!

Rating: 8/10 (4 November 2014)

I went into this movie expecting it to be a 'Mans Movie' all action no character (nothing wrong with that). But it was much MUCH more, a beautiful story showing the life of a man who has spent his life getting beaten up. This movie connects with people firstly because deep down this is many peoples fear, being old, alone and struggling to find any bit of happiness. What gives this movie the extra stars is simply that there could not possibly be a more suited actor to play the lead role, half way through the movie I actually had to convince myself that this is not a movie about Mickey Rourke life of ups and mostly downs.
This movie is an unexpected emotional roller-coaster and one that I will never forget!!
