The Wrestler (2008)


How I ended up watching this movie: I received the DVD as a secret Santa gift last year.

IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1125849/

My rating: didn't like it (sorry!)

This movie is about a professional wrestler (Mickey Rourke, what's wrong with his face?!?) and how his live gets completely affected after suffering a heart attack. What should he do? Follow the doctors' advice and stop wrestling? or just continue with his passion and die with the boots on? The idea for the movie is so-so. It didn't get to me, at least. We are witnesses of how this guy realizes that the only thing in his life worth to live for is his job. Well, that can happen to many people. I didn't like the wrestling part though, I know Mickey has been a professional boxer and fits for the role, buuuuuut... I ended up just waiting for the movie to end.
Let's see if Darren Aronofsky can hook me up with his new movie, The Black Swan (I really hope he does)
