Running Time: 116 minutes
Director: David O. Russell
Based on the true story of "Irish" Micky Ward, a small town boxer living in the shadow of his once promising brother, Dickie. Now addicted to crack after a humiliating defeat in the ring, Dickie begins training his younger brother for the career he could have had. The Fighter is a strong depiction starring Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Melissa Leo. A worthwhile watch, with acting standard really setting the bar. Melissa Leo and Christian Bale really did deserve those Oscars. Overall, a film made rather well, in a creative, documentary-style.
Rating: ****
