Review of The Fighter (2010) by Dkay — 29 Dec 2010
Solid story of redemption. The climatic boxing footage is surprisingly real...like real-real. I found myself pumping my fist after Ward landed his vintage left hook to the body. Still, despite as the world has told you already, Bale's (again) masterful transformation, I wasn't knocked out (call it an 8-count though).
...Like I wanted to be. Gatti-Ward 2 was better. Props to David O'Russell though for admirably adding to the VERY short list of excellent sports films that aren't really about sports. Plus that pot shot at Belle Epoque.
..classic.
