Insightful. Expected. Tragedy. (IET)
Final Verdict: This may be one of those times where the hype from critics actually leads to a disappointment, even undeservedly. I rented this flick because of all the critical acclaim it was getting, but in the end it just felt like another rehash of an all-too-familiar story (i.e. washed-up hero is down on his luck and looking for salvation). There's nothing new or original, everything's predictable (even the ending), and the entire story can be summed up in one or two sentences. It's a good film, but from the all the attention it was getting I was expecting a lot more. Given most of the positive reviews however, it seems I may be alone in my opinion. :)
Spoiler(s): Marisa Tomei was hot when she was younger and she's hot now. And her boobies look nice. And her butt too. And her body. And her face is pretty. And I'm sure she's smart... or at least can play someone who is smart. So suck on that, Megan Fox.
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 98%
"When you live hard and you play hard and burn the candle at both ends... in this life, you can lose everything you love, everything that loves you. Alot of people told me that I'd never wrestle again, they said 'he's washed up', 'he's finished' , 'he's a loser', 'he's all through'. You know what? The only ones gonna tell me when I'm through doing my thing, is you people here. You people here... you people here. You're my family." -Randy "The Ram" Robinson Antonio
