The Wrestler (Limited Release)

Ah, another hyped Oscar contender. Maybe I'm blinded by something but while it's a really good film, I don't find MR's performance to be that grand of a thing. He does a great job mind you but his character is based on this semi-down to earth exwrestler who is just trying to be who he is.

It's a good story, really strong really and DA is one of my favorite directors so this had a high chance of being awesome for me. It does hold that Rocky vibe, maybe a mix of 1 and 6.

One thing I love is the ending. I won't ruin it but it seemed fitting in every way possible. A really good movie, top 10? Unsure right now but I do give this a high recommendation.

Entertainment Value - 4/5

Movie - 4.5/5
