Don't believe the hype!!!!

Rating: 2/10 (14 November 2008)

I was at an Academy screening of 'The Wrestler' the other night, where Mickey Rourke and Darren Aronofsky did a q&a afterwards. Despite them both being in attendance, after twenty minutes or so, at least two hundred people got up and left. By the end of the film, half the audience had left. The only thing that was good about it was Rourke's performance.
It is shot like a documentary and the story is very predictable and one dimensional. At a time when the world could do with hope and inspiration, this really is the very opposite.
Don't believe the hype!!!!
