Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Tweetienator Mickey Rourke's resurrection as an actor by playing Randy 'The Ram' Robinson in The Wrestler. A great piece about aging, loneliness, regrets, and finally atonement, reconciliation, finding peace and dignity.Darren Aronofsky shows us life as it is with characters from everyday life on the "loser's sidewalk" of life. A great drama embedded in the world of the circus of small-scale wrestling, trailer parks, and small town suburbs and small dreams. The Wrestler, next to The Fountain my favorite movie of Mr. Aronofsky. Masterpiece.

zkonedog Being an old-school fan of professional wrestling (I grew up in the WWF's late 1980s-early 90s heyday), I was expecting to thoroughly enjoy this much-hyped film. Instead, I found it to fall quite flat for me for two specific reasons:First, I think I came into viewing "The Wrestler" with too much prior experience/knowledge of professional wrestling. While the film depicts such unsettling scenes as the locker room drug/steroid deals, the brutal "death matches", and the lonely life that a pro wrestler leads, those were things I already knew, thus I wasn't shocked to see them on screen. Perhaps moviegoers who know nothing about the sinister side of pro wrestling would find those things more horrifying (and thus sympathize with Mickey Rourke's "Randy the Ram" character) than I did.Secondly, I just wasn't sucked into what was supposed to provide the drama of the film. Randy's relationship with his stripper girlfriend didn't quite lend itself to incredible drama, because it wasn't fleshed-out enough, while his relationship with his estranged daughter flourished a bit too quickly to make the climax of the film as touching as it could have been.So, although Rourke does turn in an inspired performance, I felt that the film was a bit too rushed in its dramatic efforts and didn't cover enough new territory (at least for me) to hold my interest. However, if you know very little about the backstage goings-on in professional wrestling, then this movie may shock you enough to truly care about Randy the Ram.

gwnightscream Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood star in this 2008 drama. This takes place in New Jersey where we meet veteran wrestler, Randy aka "The Ram" who has been in the business for over 20 years. He decides to retire from the ring to take care of his body. In the process, he tries working at a grocery store and reconnecting with his estranged daughter, Stephanie (Wood) whom he abandoned years prior. Tomei (My Cousin Vinny) plays Cassidy, a stripper who Randy gets close with. This is a good drama with some heartfelt moments and a bit of humor. Rourke gives a terrific performance and should've received an Oscar. I recommend this.
