Review of The Fighter (2010) by Ray M — 30 Aug 2012
I liked this movie more than I thought I would. There are several moments that draw me closer to the film than expected.
The tension that derives from Mickey Ward's decision to either get his shit together or stick to family is incredible. When a cop busts Ward's hand knowing he's a boxer kills me. Seeing him take a beating in the ring and still trying to stand tall is seen in every boxing movie but never gets old.
Christian Bale gives quite possibly his best performance. Mark Wahlberg proves again why he's not a bad actor as some suggest and Amy Adams and Melissa Leo deliver great performances too (I mean, who didn't?).
