The Wrestler - #59

This is another review from the IMDB Top 100 Challenge.

IMDB rating: 8.4
My rating: 8.6

I didn't think I would like The Wrestler when I saw the previews, but I trusted the critics and saw it anyway. I liked this movie a lot and agree with its placement on the list of best movies of all time.

Mickey Rourke was great in his role as a washed up wrestler. This was a very emotional film and all of the actors brought that through very well.

The Wrestler is definitely not for everyone. There was ample nudity and violence, but I think it was necessary for the message. I highly recommend this movie.
