Quote :: A drama centered on retired professional wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson as he makes his way through the independent circuit, trying to get back in the game for one final showdown with his former rival

The story doesn't attract me that much but then again, it is Aronofsky so I will for sure watch it, it must be good yess

On top of that I also really like Mickey Rourke and the acting choices he made these past years yess

Watched it yesterday and thought it was very good!
Especially the performance of Mickey Rourke which is trully touching!
The story is not brilliant but what I liked was the fact that Darren Aronofsky took some risks by making something with a less complex cinematography. The movie is filmed quite realistically, often camera in hands. It is a bit similar than other social drama such as the movies of the Dardenne brothers so very different from what we've seen from Aronofsky so far.
