Reviews

Gone With The Twins

Mike Massie

A grittily stark and oftentimes sadly humorous look into the life of a lamentable man and his tragic profession.

The battered dignity of Rourke's performance is so touching that by the time he makes his big statement of faith to his fans even the toughest and most cynical of viewers will find their eyes going moist.

It is powerful, yet it is graceful.

Charleston City Paper

Felicia Feaster

The Wrestler is an astounding portrait of a broken man.

But this is, of course, [Mickey] Rourke's moment. As the increasingly desperate and bewildered Ram he is aggressive and vulnerable, frightening and sympathetic as he struggles to find a place in a world that's leaving him behind.
