Lacking the depth and attention span which will be the concern of most viewers.

Rating: 3/10 (24 May 2009)

5 stars Empire Magazine hails it, An instant Classic blasts The Times and so on but The Wrestler to me is just an irritating biographic drama movie that doesn't leave you feeling like you have watched an amazing. film. Instead though, The Wrestler is a down beat and boring film that lacks power and emotion. The main character played by Rourke is unimportant and depressing, which is what Aronofsky is aiming for. The conclusion is useless and incoherent to what real movie fans want to see.
The pacing is so slow and exaggerated that, at times it lies in the falling asleep category. Also the shots are repetitive and linger in most cases in one shot which i didn't like.
Overall, don't waist your money on this crap because all it does is puts you down.
