The Wrestler

I just saw it and imho its worth seeing. Well made but very predictable. Rourke owns the movie and its worth the price of popcorn to see Marissa Tomeh strip.
But it sure aint Raging Bull.

I believe it is accurate enough. I once worked on a documentary about Owen Hart and met a bunch of these guys. They are polite, hardworking guys who get physically hammered. There is a camaraderie that is portrayed accurately. The movie, however, is predictable. You know what is going to happen in the third act right from the get go. I would have liked to see a twist in the tale.
Maybe Danny Cox will pipe in. He owns a wrestling league. Ya gotta go to one of Danny's wrestling nights. He has great ring girls and commissioners.

Die hard wrestling fan and from everything I've heard it's a very spot on look at what happens to many in the biz.

I've always found the wrestlers to be very easy to talk to when I went to shows and afterwards at the bar and such.

Is it "The Man, the Myth, the Legend"?
