The Fighter

I am strangely keen on this film, don't know why, but there's been so many boxing films, hope it does something different. It won't win Best Pic, but I can only see this film and Black Swan challenging The King's Speech this year for best pic

To see a trailer or rate this film, please click here »



Directed by David O. Russell.
Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Melissa Leo, Jack McGee.

Plot: The Fighter tells the story of Boston fighter "Irish" Mickey Ward and how he was helped to the world lightweight championship by half-brother Dicky Eklund. Eklund once decked Sugar Ray Leonard and went the distance against the boxing legend before forfeiting his career to drugs and crime. He redeemed himself by training Ward through his Rocky-like run to the title.

I have no interest in seeing this. Boxing? No thanks. I'll be interested to read the reviews here though.

Saw this in Canada over Xmas... Absolutely brilliant film - people raving about Mark Wharlberg's character portrayal, but I thought Christian Bale absolutely blew him out of the water - esp. when you compare him to the real life person he is playing (the film is based on real life)...
