Review of The Fighter (2010) by Kimberly B — 06 Dec 2012
An old and tired story but done very well and without the corny schmaltz of The Wrestler. What makes this film truly great and worth seeing are the performances. Everyone was fantastic, and Christian Bale truly earned his Oscar here.
Great performance. This was underlined when, during the credits, the real guys this movie is based on showed up. "Dicky" really sounded and moved the way Christian Bale played him. Very impressive performance! I think Amy Adams should have won over Melissa Leo for Supporting Actress, but both performances were great.
All in all, you watch this movie not for the story (you have seen it before), but for the acting and directing. Well worth the time!
