He plays Randy \"The Ram\" Robinson, a heavily scarred and medicated battler who's twenty years past his best moment in the ring. But he still schleps to every second-rate fight card he can get to, stringing out the paychecks (more likely a fistful of cash) and nursing what's left of his pride. His attempts to adjust to a more normal kind of life form the most absorbing sections in the movie, whether it's flirting with a stripper (Marisa Tomei is in good form, in every sense), establishing a bond with his understandably angry daughter (Evan Rachel Wood), or working behind the deli counter at a nondescript megastore. Rourke is commanding in the role; he obviously spent hours in the gym and the tanning salon, and his ease with the semi-documentary style adopted by director Darren Aronofsky allows him to naturalistically interact with the colorful real-life wrestlers who crowd the movie's ultra-believable locations. All of which helps distract from the film's overall adherence to ancient formula. You might find yourself waiting for the scene where the risk-taking Aronofsky ( Requiem for a Dream) pulls the switch and reveals his true motives for pursuing this otherwise sentimental story, but there's no switch. The Wrestler is an old-fashioned hoke machine, given grit by an actor who doesn't seem to be so much performing the role of ravaged survivor as embodying it. --Robert Horton\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 065935826064\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0065935826064\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Blu-ray\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45936103292962,"sku":"GI-3PQF-NW5Z","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/51PlCMm83sL.jpg?v=1783585046","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/products\/the-wrestler-blu-ray-1","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
