Wow........Wow..........Wow

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2008)

Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei, are absolutely fantastic in this film. Both produce some fantastic performances and the chemistry between them is amazing......If neither get some kind of award for their performances in this film, there is certainly something amiss in the film industry. This film is the same kind of film and ranks alongside leaving Las Vegas and million dollar baby...... Tomei, produces the best portrayal of a stunning Mother of 1 trying her best to raise her child in a place where work is few and far between. Rourke's portrayal of a dried up left for dead 80's iconic wrestler is so real i felt at times I was watching a documentary about the lives of Cassidy and Randy the Ram Robinson, not 2 superfluous entertainers using their skills to enchant, dazzle and relay life lessons.... If there is one film you should go and see it is The Wrestler.....I watch many films in the theatre but not many make it to my DVD collection. I will be buying this when it is released. You must watch this film......Wrestling has never been so real
