The Wrestler was a great movie. I recommend it. I don’t know why, but I find myself pulling for Mickey Rourke. He has battled his demons, but seems to give thanks where it’s due.

Thought The Wrestler was a very good film (although brutal in parts).

Thought Rourke deserved the award for best actor as well.

saw it - liked it. It’s a little ‘low-budget’ for main-stream and it is raunchy (Marisa Tomei - is that a bad thing?) It is a brutally realistic film I’ve recomended to others.

the Wrestler is a masterpiece. Seriously...it’s amazing. not for everyone, but if you like that genre, it’s amazing.

As far as Mickey Rourke/comeback roles, I enjoyed him even more as Marv in "Sin City"

I have not seen it but I plan on renting it. I have been following Mickey’s comeback. He also said his dogs helped pull him through the lows when almost all hope was lost.

He carried his old pup around everywhere with him. He said he wanted to spend every minute he could with the dog because he knew the old dog had very little time left.

Hard to fault a man who credits God, his faith and his dogs from saving him from the abyss. I hope Mickey’s career continues to improve, that he finds happiness and wish him the best of luck in the future.

No. What's it about?
