Easily the best movie of 2008!

Rating: 10/10 (31 December 2008)

I've been checking out IMDb for years now, but I actually had to register an account with a credit card just so I can comment on how much I loved this movie.
If there was ever a role to define Mickey Rourke's career this is it by far. Not only does his performance outshine everything I've seen this year, but he outperforms any actor I've ever seen in my lifetime.
The entire time I was watching this film I never thought once that Randy "The Ram" Robinson is being played by an actor, it feels so real you think your watching an autobiography in the making. In my opinion this surpasses any sports movie ever made, whether its Rocky, or Raging Bull Mickey Rourke outdoes them all with ease.
Marisa Tomei also delivers a solid performance, as a very convincing stripper approaching old age in her line of work. Her and Mickey Rourke's on screen chemistry was portrayed in an extremely realistic fashion. I easily think she deserves an award for Best Supporting Actress, as she lights up the screen more then Rosario Dawson(Seven Pounds), as well as Cate Blanchett(Benjamin Button).
This movie also provides perhaps the best song ever written for a movie in history thanks to Bruce Springsteen. If you do watch the movie, make sure you don't leave until after hearing the song play during the credits because in my opinion its just another part of the movie.
All and all Mickey Rourke has outdone himself, and this movie could possibly be my favorite movie of all time dethroning my favorites such as The Godfather, Forrest Gump, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction and more.
10/10 The Dark Knight has nothing on Randy "The Ram" Robinson.
