THE WRESTLER: GOOD ACTOR, SAD CHARACTERYou would think we were well versed in come backs by now. Still, what an amazing job Mickey Roarke do as an actor. Seems like he was nominated for every award possible, appropriately so. Randy 'The Ram' Robinson is a down on his luck professional wrestler. The women in his life are barely in his life. Marisa Tomei is Cassidy, a "hooker with a heart of gold" except that she is neither. Evan Rachel Wood is Randy's daughter who is now almost an adult and pissed at him for his absence. A series of events lead Randy to the edge, where all he has to do is jump. Aside from the too long and forced diatribe at the end of the film, it was one of the best comebacks and films I have seen.
Bite: Aren't we all looking for our 15 minutes of fame? Well worth watching.
