The Wrestler | Rotten Tomatoes

Production T A gripping tale of love, lust and loss, set in a world the average man can relate to. The acting is flawless. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Leprechaun K Excellent movie by Aronofsky and exceptional performance by Rourke. He should have won Oscar Best Actor for this. A movie about relationships, redemption, and forgiveness. Top 10 in my books. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Audience Member Kind of a remake (Homeboy) same story , about a boxer. I'd go with original being better, it is dated and dark but.... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Fer S Nice little movie! Not the most interesting plot but great acting by Mickey Rourke and very well achieved in general. I liked the ending. Not your typical cliché movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Billy D A gritty, heart-wrentching movie dripping with authenticity, The Wrestler at times seems a biopic of Mickey Rourke himself. It is obvious the actor drew on his own bruised and battered past to fuel his performance as Randy "The Ram" Robinson -and what high octane stuff it is. To root for Randy (and you will) is to root for Mickey himself. Marisa Tomei is equally as magnificent as Pam, the kind hearted yet jaded stripper whose heart Randy longs for, yet can only rent by the dance. A movie truly driven by its performances, The Wrestler is an ode to all of us who are forced to look back on the best days of our lives while doing our best to survive the aftermath. Highly recommended. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Chase P The Wrestler is an amazing deep dive into the psychology of a man who has nothing more to lose. Following Micky Rorque as "Randy the Ram", in a story that almost mirrors his real-life career, he tries to mend the relationship with his daughter, find love, and continue to do the only thing that he has left. With one of the most ambiguous endings (possibly) ever, I think it is nothing short of a masterpiece and a must-watch, and even if you aren't a wrestling fan, there is something here for everyone to enjoy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
