Synopsis

Aging wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson is long past his prime but still ready and rarin' to go on the pro-wrestling circuit. After a particularly brutal beating, however, Randy hangs up his tights, pursues a serious relationship with a long-in-the-tooth stripper, and tries to reconnect with his estranged daughter. But he can't resist the lure of the ring and readies himself for a comeback.

juanmuscle What is so wonderful about the Wrestler is it works well with the material , the material itself is food for the machine that keeps on feeding and growing in and of itself - and also the editing, its very psychological yes, there is no one forcing him here or there, no, what compels the spirit is free, so he is trying, but it is in the editing that leads us to the triumphal ephemeral climax; the preceding scenes blend really well together in a contiguous manner leading to our final psychological decision, Mickey Rourke's character is at that fork in the road, here is an angel tugging at his heartstrings for a lasting climax ending or elsewhere is the erstwhile past, what he knows, what he loves, that fake love from his fans who only see him as the wrestler; So, it is too late for there is nothing to think about, everyone has told him he is a F up, he believes it, why mess up this angels life, it inevitable right? When the brain asks the heart what to do, for the angelic force inducing one to move away from peril and into sacrosanct ground , refuge or as Quasimodo would say, 'Sanctuary!!!;' it is too late for here the mangled Wrestler has no heart, at length everyone has taken their piece for the pieces lie strewn lost forever in all the towns he has ever competed.
Raushan Kumar (AbsoluteRaushan) This is a good drama movie in which they have shown the story of a wrestler. Mickey Rourke has done tremendous job as he used to be a wrestler and you can imagine what wrestling mean for a wrestler. This is really good movie and if you are wrestling fan then you are going to love this.
Kirpianuscus cold and bitter and touching. a lesson of life, at the first sigh. the come back of Mickey Rourke. and example of admirable simplicity for describe the profound solitude. one of films who has the desire to expose slices from every day reality. nothing special. only a spectacular career, the memories of success, the meaning of life, the new beginning and a meet who could save the errors from the past. The Wrestler is one of films about ordinary things who remains, long time after you see, a kind of wound. because a part of Randy Robinson is from us. the frustrations, the desire to resurrect the golden ages, the need to replace the pieces of reality as a form of revenge against himself.and the love. a kind of poem of small things. this is The Wrestler.
Miguel Neto The Wrestler is a excellent best Darren Aronofsky , even having a problem , for example the amateur camera style and a script with some problems , the plot is good , the cast is great , the acting is good , Mickey Rourke is excellent, perhaps his best performance in his career, Marisa Tomei is great , chemistry and I took with Rourke is very good , she even compares the character Rourke to Jesus Christ , the picture is good , the dialogues are good , the track sound is good, has great moments , the film is too violent, and sometimes distressing , the Wrestler is a very good movie with a good direction Aronofsky , an excellent soundtrack is a flawless performance of Mickey Rourke . Note 8.6
