The Wrestler


Although I appreciate Mickey Rourke's acting skills...and I think Evan Rachel Wood and Marissa Tomei did great work here too...and I think the cinematography was superb...I cannot get behind this film. The nudity...although it was authentic to the character and drove home the desperateness of the character's circumstances...was over the top gratuitous. There was also a really gorey fight scene...ehhhhh....coulda lived w/it....but nooooo......too much in the long run.

The best scenes in the film took place behind the deli counter. Simply brilliant.
Mickey Rourke shoulda gotten the Oscar. He was that good in this film.
