The Wrestler


Saw it today. This is more than acting, folks. This is a story of Mickey Rourke in Hollywood formatting.

I can't imagine ANYONE else playing the role of The Wrestler.

Marisa Tomei is sizzling hot as a stripper and is a damned fine actress too.

The film is an excellent parallell study on Rourke and Tomei's characters. I liked the concise and cohesive nature of the plot. I'd like to see the director taking a non-linear approach in future endeavors.

I love this movie. Hoping to see more Mickey Rourke in films. Directors and Producers, open your eyes people! He has more talent in his scars than most folks have in an entire acting career.
