A True movie for Wrestlers?

Rating: 7/10 (24 November 2012)

i should not judge a book by its cover again. Looking at the poster and the title i initially assumed that this is going to be another one of those bullshit movies but it turn out to be quite the opposite. It is not exactly phenomenal or memorable in anyway, but it is not so simple to watch either. All i see throughout this movie is very...human, human as i hv never seen before within and outside the wrestling rings, human as if u are really witnessing a testimony of a wrestler, and feel that you might have ended up in the same situation yourself if life takes a different route...and that is itself a rare quality in good movies nowadays. No wonder Mickey won his best actor for this.
