4. The Wrestler

Mickey Rourke is a wrestler, which is where they got the title from. He's super old and broken down, but still keeps trying to wrestle, much like Ric Flair. He does not, however, have the man boobs that Ric Flair was sporting later on in his career. The main purpose of this movie is to just show off that Rourke is an awesome actor (if you didnt already know from Sin City). It's got wrestling, barbwire, tables, a man called Necro Butcher, and titties. If you like any of the above, you will like this movie.

No Morgan Freeman. No Danny Glover. No explosions.

Rating: 4/10

It's good if you like character studies. Ultimately, a good performance by Rourke, but a pretty boring movie.
