Mickey Rourke (in a Golden Globe-winning, Oscar-nominated role) stars as retired professional wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson, who returns to the ring and tries to work his way up the circuit for a final shot at defeating his longtime rival. Along the way, he tries to reconnect with his daughter, Stephanie (Evan Rachel Wood), while exploring a relationship with a stripper named Cassidy (Marisa Tomei, also nominated for a Golden Globe and Oscar).
I'm not a wrestling fan myself but you don't have to be to enjoy this film.I like to call The Wrestler a brutal family movie. It made me feel warm, fuzzy and melancholy all at the same time. A very raw and honest slice of life. You have to watch the special features!
