The Legend Named Mickey Rourke!

Rating: 8/10 (10 April 2009)

2008 flick 'The Wrestler' is a powerful, real, reverting, fantastic story of a man who is regarded a yesterday Mr.popular and a loser today. Darren Aronofsky makes a brave story about a man who's living a life of a nobody, rejected by his own daughter and finds comfort in a stripper. 'The Wrestler' is a fantastic film, not for one second you feel your watching a film, you live the film. Randy 'The Ram' Robinson is a character, which surely will go down as a cult figure.
Pluses of the film: The film's script is a masterstroke. Mickey Rourke is a legend? Of yes he is, in each and every write. The Wrestler works because Rourke lives the character to the hilt. You cry, sympathize, pray and love Randy 'The Ram' Robinson. Oscar-nomination, hell ya he deserved it. He's brilliant. Marisa Tomei looks hot as hell, she delivers like never before. She's fantastic and her Oscar-nomination was indeed deserving. Evan Rachel Wood plays her part well, she however is not going to be your favorite while watching the flick. Others are also.
Minuses: Violent and depressing at times.
on the whole 'The Wrestler' is a new-age masterpiece. Two Thumbs Up!
