The Wrestler

Mickey Rourke delivers as "The Ram" and is just as exciting to watch as he was in Sin City. I was pretty impressed as he really played the role of a "has-been" wrestler struggling to redeem himself. If you don't know by now, I am a fan of redemption stories and this is "the one".
Fans of wrestling will enjoy this movie, and simply fans of great movies will really enjoy it. Though it was fiction, it seemed very true to life and believable and Rourke does a great job. I highly recommend this movie. Plus, Marisa Tomei will always have a special place in my heart thanks to George Costanza and his tomfoolery.
