Advantages: Great storyline and well produced in general!

Disadvantages: Title could be better.

When originally watching this film I really didn't know what to expect, but it really did turn out to be a film well worth watching. I would admit that the title does not in many respects sound that appealing but I would encourage you to look at the storyline as that is what grabbed my attention far more. The film stars Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood amongst many other great actors, who really do make this film particularly good to watch. Overall I found the film to be well produced and exciting throughout and it also had a good soundtrack to boot!

As for the storyline, it is about a wrestler who is on the brink of retirement. He finds himself just wrestling on weekends now, this is because of a heart attack that occured and as a result his doctor said that he can no longer wrestle. He finds himself in the position of moving in to a permanent job at the supermarket, however he feels an urge to go back to wrestling with his fans awaiting him. It really is as you can see quite an inspirational storyline and I found it moving at times. I hope this was useful and thank you very much for reading this.

Summary: A well produced film with something for everybody!
