    Great movie. Rourke should have won an Academy Award for his role. Sad to say how he turned out in the movie is how most gamblers turn out. Broke, alone and in bad healh.

    Marisa Tomei is smoking I don't care how old she is.

              I love this movie. I released to Marisa at the strip club scene. I left a dried release at the movie theatre.

                AWESOME movie I totally agree about Mickey getting robbed for the Oscar. Glad Marisa got it she was great. And its a real movie too, indy wrestlers go though that daily. Its not all the lights and fireworks of the WWE

                  Bateman:we have our fights but you're on the money.this is a great movie and I can watch Marisa Tomei all night long.Two funny scenes are when he goes crazy in the deli at the supermarket and when he plays Nintendo against "Adam the kid" and beats him with the "Ram Jam"(totally stuck in the 80's)

                  I went to the 1st Wrestlemania when I was 13,I love the storylines. "Randy the Ram" was typical 80's

                            I really want to see this movie. Had it downloaded on my MacBook but that fried itself so I never got around to watching it. Is it gory at all though? I don't like realistic fight scenes.
                            And yeah, Harvey Milk was amazing too.

                                  Just saw it recently. Despite being broke, alone and in bad health, at the end of the day he was happy doing what he was doing.

                                        it was very factual. i will say that.... a buddy of mine from high school which most of you would recognize if you watched wresling in the 90s reminded me of this movie to the T.... guy was a big star, and now he wrestles in high school gyms and state fairs..... sad actually

                                            should be on dvd by now, i'll check it out,, think rourke did win the award for it

                                              Great movie. The ending was a little depressing. This is probably a very accurate account of a wrestlers career. Once you are old and washed up there's nothing left. They need a wrestlers union
