Truly truly dreadful

Rating: 1/10 (23 January 2009)

I can only say that i watched this film with great anticipation as the score on this website had reflected a film of majestic proportions. HOW WRONG WAS I !!!!!! Mr Rouke's face now has the ability to mask any emotion better than any botox bimbo, which allows him to carry out each scene just the same as the last (must be a dream for the editors for continuity). The script ,or lack of one, was incredible. I wonder if the meeting went like this.
Idea for film hmmmmmmm I know has anyone watched The Boxer well if we get a washed up actor and follow him around with a camcorder with a rough draft of what we want and make sure he is not recognisable to the general public then we don't really need a script so we save money there because lets face it we will have to spend a fortune on plugging this turkey and make people believe that it is a major comeback for our ailing star. Don't forget its wrestling so lets add a titty bar and a bird who guys will remember for being yummy when she was about 20 and get her to strip because lets face it a younger model will cost us more.
I don't know if it is me being British or just with me not following the acting oops sorry wrestling scene but in my opinion this movie is yet another waste of cellulose which has been turned into a blockbuster not because of acting talent or story (lets all face it if you want a heart-wrenching sports story film just watch The Boxer) but because people went to see it just to look at how disfigured Mr Rouke's face is now due to the plastic surgery from hell.
