You Don't Need to Like Wrestling to Love This Film

Rating: 9/10 (18 February 2009)

At first I thought I wouldn't really like this film because wrestling and wrestlers never interested me at all. But I love watching good acting so I gave this film a shot for the sake of Mickey Rourke. I was really surprised and glad that I did give this film a shot! The Wrestler is a film that can completely transport you into the heart and soul of a wrestler if you let it. Mickey Rourke really did such an amazing job. He had me thinking about the character for days. He deserved the Golden Globe and if he does win an Oscar, I wouldn't be surprised at all! The chemistry between Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei was also great in this film.
If you like seeing something different for a change or like watching real emotions on screen, u have to see this film!
