The Fighter review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 08/29/11
A true story of a relationship between a talented boxer Mickey Ward (Producer Mark Wahlberg who trained for 4 years) and the charismatic addict Dicky Ecklund (Christian Bale). Its premise is very engaging since it is about family, growing up and brotherhood. The 2 leads did extraordinary performances that brings out the heart of the film. Storytelling's pace was continues, no dull portions and the cinematography was good. Cast was flawless as well to make the film more interesting since the family was really involved with Mickey's life. The Fighter will be difficult to forget since it combines solid acting, lovely familial story, combined with the heart of Rocky and realism of Raging Bull boxing scenes.
