Review of The Wrestler (2008) by Ernst M — 28 Dec 2011
As a somewhat wrestling fan, I was looking forward to this movie but unfortunately I was told the storyline before seeing the movie. So I don't know if seeing without knowing the plot would changed my opinion of it or not.
Rourke definitely taps into this character quite effectively and makes you forget about the actor and concentrate on the character himself. Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood I could take or leave. In regards to the ending I could think of different ways to do it but again knowing it before hand kind of skews my perspective on it.
