Review of The Fighter (2010) by Lucas D — 05 Nov 2013
Another trawl through the Massachusetts urban wilderness of Wahlberg's youth, this time he plays a small time boxer who surmounts the odds and wins a shot at one of the plethora of world titles available at most weights these days.
It's gritty and realistic although Christian Bale doesn't quite pull off the Bostonian crack head brother and the dysfunctional family is a little contrived. A good effort nonetheless but tellingly the theme tune for Rocky kept going through my head.
