Review of the Wrestler

Doctors tell RAM he can never fight again, this shacking him as wrestling was his only love and the only thing he has stuck which through out his life unlike his ex wife or daughter but with nothing left he decides to reunite with his daughter and start a life with a girl he meets at a stripe club, having to work a regular job with his prick boss at a local food store.

Of course this all goes wrong when RAM snaps at a customer who recognizes him as a wrestler, RAM upset with this goes on a binge of sex and drugs then because of this misses his reunite dinner with his daughter so then RAM with nothing left decides he is not cut out to live a normal life and wrestler a big match against long time opponent ayatollah after a. emotional speech with his girlfriend he goes ahead with the wrestling match showing that wrestling is his main passion and true love during the match RAM has heart issue he climbs to the top rope in pain from his heart delivers his signature move the camera black out leaving you with the impression he has died

the wrestler is an amazing piece of acting wrapped with long emotional shots and speeches and truly outlines one man's love for something above everything else so much he'd rather die than live with out it and although its slow build can sometimes even find you bored the pay off of the pure raw emotion and talented acting you wont be disappointed 
****1/4 star
