The Wrestler is a brutal dose of the harsh reality behind the glitz and glamour of an often overlooked and demanding profession. If one of the matches weren't bad enough, the aftermath in the locker room looks like torture. Mickey Rourke disappears into his role of Randy "The Ram" Robinson. Watching the movie, you feel Randy is destined to self-destruct at some point, but you start rooting for him anyway. If you're even a casual fan of wrestling or just a fan of life drama, this movie is a must see. Any more I could have said, Ray has already been dead-on with his assessment. If you can't see it locally, add it to your Netflix as soon as it's available.
