Review of The Fighter (2010) by Jacob W — 25 May 2015
It's full of clichés, it's highly predictable, and perfect all the while. Despite its flaws the Fighter succeeds thanks to Wahlberg, Adams, Leo, and especially Bale's extraordinary performances, as well as an outstanding script that shows an excellent dramatic piece about family and making tough decisions when they're in your way.
Wahlberg's character's struggle outside the ring is crafted beautifully and it's the deciding factor in making this film more than another boxing flick. (89%).
