The Wrestler

Aging wrestler Randy ``The Ram'' Robinson (Mickey Rourke) is long past his prime but still ready and rarin' to go on the pro-wrestling circuit. After a particularly brutal beating, however, Randy hangs up his tights, pursues a serious relationship with a long-in-the-tooth stripper (Marisa Tomei), and tries to reconnect with his estranged daughter (Evan Rachel Wood). But he can't resist the lure of the ring and readies himself for a comeback.

Mickey Rourke gives a beautiful performance in "The Wrestler."

Rourke transcends the physical trappings of his aging pro wrestler character – the leonine, platinum mane, 'roided-up pecs and self-inflicted razor cuts aimed at giving the crowd what it wants – to impart his character's desire to connect, at times even lending Randy "The Ram" Robinson a kind of spiritual grace.

Locked out of his New Jersey trailer for failing to pay rent and hobbled by hangover injuries from his 1980s heyday, the Ram has it bad these days. But he still has a few things going for him, like the self-awareness to recognize he's been selfish much of his life and that he must make up for lost time. (Full review)
