Film: The Wrestler

A great film! I got to see it a few days ago with Angel (a friend of mine) in Port Orchard.

Mickey Rourke starts as Robbie "The Ram" Robinson, a aging, down and out wrestler on the verge of a razor's edge. His performance is something else. I must admit that the script was "average", but, for this type of film it works perfectly. Angel pointed out a great "yin-yang" aspect to Rourke's character and Tomei's character that I won't divulge here in case some of you haven't seen it.

It's totally worth a full price admission. Darren Aronofsky does it again! If you haven't seen Pi or Requiem for a Dream you should check them out.
