This film was about a guy that was past his prime and was still trying to make it as a wrestler. In the mean time he worked in a food store, spent his time having sex with numerous strippers or hookers and attempted to get his daughter that he had abandoned to like him.
It was a good film but it didn't have the passion or the soundtrack that i had been expecting. I just kinda got bored of it before the end. I know that some people end up living that life but i get bored with the idea that that is how everyone's life ends up when they are past something. It's kinda like 'same old' and it just bores me.
I liked that he wasn't a guy that was trying to play on his previous slight fame and that he wasn't refusing to accept that he had to do other things with his life- that concept was really good and an important theme to try and incorporate into films.
Mickey Rourke is Mickey Rourke, he's kinda how he always is but that was perfect for his role. I wouldn't really believe that anyone else could pull off that role but i guess that is why he was chosen for it.
