Not a wrestling fan? You don't need to be for this film. This movie is for anyone who wants to see what it is like to be on top of the world and be pulled down into misery. Mickey Rourke without delivers the performance of his lifetime. The story is about a superstar wrestler who sacrificed everything to reach the top and years later has nothing to show for it. Hated by his daughter and treated like a worthless piece of #%$@, the only place he can seem to find a break is in the ring. However what it takes for him to perform is extremely detrimental to his body and is slowly killing him. After a near death his forced to choose between two life's which doesn't come easy. The wrestler is by far the best movie I've seen in 2009 and deserves all the hype it has gotten from critics. 10/10!
