Review of Beyond the Mat (1999) by Chris P — 22 Jul 2009
A really interesting movie full of larger than life characters with truly tragic stories. Worth it the story of Jake the Snake alone if you have even a passing interest in professional wrestling this could be the best film you'll ever see if not it's full of personality and ego and sadness if this wasn't the inspiration for the Wrestler I would be amazed.
Brilliant although the director does over egg the pudding at times(all the Stand by me was a bit much the guys family are already in tears what do you want?).
