The fighter is entertaining enough to dismiss it's contrivances. The fighter tells a real like story of two fighter brothers with a lot of changes from the real events, but who the hell cares? The acting by the entire cast was good, it was more interesting to see the drama in the life of the fighters outside the ring. David.O.Russel should have taken the boxing stuff a bit more seriously, like the 2005 film Cinderella Man. They should have given a bit more of stress to the boxing. Also it's good to see Bale in a different role after I saw his awful film American Psycho recently.
