I just saw this last night at the movies (I'm a little slow on the uptake). I wanted to see it in the theater before it was gone. I'm not exactly recommending it...because it really deserves it's R rating for sex, drugs and rock'n roll. The wrestling action was brutal at times. This would be a great movie even if a lot of the "R" stuff wasn't in it. Mickey Rourke deserves all the excellent reviews for his performance. I was crying at times because he really did such a great job. I'm really liberal but I think this movie would have been just as good or better with a little restraint on the R stuff because some people won't see it because of that. And that's kind of a shame. Really all the actors were good and the story was very touching.
Hugs for Monday!

Thanks for the review. I have wondered about this movie. I know that Micky Rourke is a great actor...not sure about his new image but it's his business. Too much of the R stuff kind of gets to me, and I avoid it when I can. Especially when it isn't necessary. Out Of Africa, one of my favorite film is the sort of film that I thought perfect.
But.. :) that's just me.
GREAT review! And thanks! Come see me some time.. :)
Take care and enjoy your day.
(oh..before I forget..are you still moving? I know I read once that you were house hunting.)

Point well made about the R stuff - that would keep me from watching it. I always gravitate toward light comedies and family flicks. But your review was well written.
I hope you have a wonderful Easter!
Oh I had heard about this one. I will prolly watch it despite the adult content.
I love Micky Rourke...when he left Hollywood for a bit, he was a fighter..that was his passion.
He really wasn't a drunk nor an addict..just a guy who could act, didn't want the spotlight and
got his face beat up when he went into the ring.

SNOW WHITE.. I am she, and I love the idea
