The Wrestler starring Mickey Rourke is such a great movie. Mickey Rourke marks a great return starring as a Middle aged Wrestler that is well past his prime and yet continues to do what he knows best. His unconventional love interest a stripper played by Marisa Tomei that is beginning to realize that her stripping days are coming to an end and develops a relationship with Rourke As He frequents her club in an attempt to woo her. Rourke lives a rather depressing life working part time at a grocery store and wrestling on the weekends with his glory days well behind him.
Without a doubt the best scenes are those between Rourke and his daughter Stephanie played By Evan Rachel Wood whom he apparently abandoned a number of years prior to his current time. The Wrestler is directed by Darren Aronofsky who changes his work as compared to earlier films but still manages to capture a gritty and raw picture that adds to the credibility of the film. Rourke definitely outdid himself in this great movie that I recommend to all of you.
