Review of The Wrestler (2008) by Kevin S — 19 Jun 2012

I hope all the people that think professional wrestling is fake should watch this movie. This movie is very true to a professional wrestlers life. The ups and downs they go through to do what they love.

Getting hurt and taking pain pills to ease their pain and depressants so they can remain uplifted and probably times were they take sleeping pills so they can rest at night. It is not easy like everyone thinks and not fake like alot of people think it is.

Micky Rourk gave one heck of a performance as a wrestler trying to make it and having the heartbreak of getting hurt and having to give up doing what he loves. Plus all the other struggles. Excellent performance by the whole cast.

I think every wrestling fan like me will fall in love with this movie like I have. Trust me you will have no regrets.
