The Wrestler (Movie Review)

"The only place I get hurt is out there."
[Randy points away from the ring]
"The world don't give a shit about me."

A very interesting movie, with an extraordinary performance by Mickey Rourke, follows the tail of a washed out wrestler who his entire life has been dedicated to professional wrestling, until he has a heartattack and is told he can never wrestle again. While the premise of this story seems fairly unorginal, however its actruly quite interesting, the story follows Randy "The Ram" Robbinson who like i said is an ageing wrestler, and lives in a trailer cabin, does steriods, gets tan, dyes his hair, and goes to stripper bars for fun etc... untill he has a heart attack and trys to redue his life by trying to repair his relationship with his daughter, and even trys to ask out one of the local stripper dancers for a date. Story progresses without giving too much away he gets frusturated at the world and realises he can't do anything but wrestle. I know, I Know, this sounds really dumb but honestly give it a watch its pretty entertaning and fun, you'd be supprised how much blood is in this movie.
