Review of The Wrestler (2008) by Pauld. — 09 Jan 2009
Superb heartfelt, touching performance by Mickey Rourke elevates the movie far beyond the sometimes cliche-ridden script. Excellent support from Marisa Tomei provides an additional reason to see it and an emotional scene with Evan Rachel Wood also leaves a lasting impression.
I hope that Rourke wins the Academy Award for his performance; he deserves it.
