His sense of identity fading into nothingness after the spotlights dim and he experiences a close brush with mortality, a retired wrestler begins to evaluate his life while considering the comeback that could very well kill him in director Darren Aronofsky's poignant portrait of an introspective former superstar in the twilight of his career. Back in his heyday, wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson (Mickey Rourke) was an icon in the ring. His image immortalized in action figures and video games, he would headline arenas across the globe. Twenty years later, those glory days have passed, and Randy is forced to earn his keep by brawling before handfuls of fans in high school gyms and community centers around New Jersey. In the wake of a heart attack, the former icon attempts to earn a little extra cash while working in a deli and making an effort to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter, Stephanie (Evan Rachel Wood). Yet, despite Randy's continued attempts at convincing local stripper Cassidy (Marisa Tomei) to settle down with him in his humble trailer, the ring still calls to him. Later, when the prospect of a high-profile rematch with his longtime nemesis presents itself, Randy is forced to weigh his mortality against his desire to hear the crowd roar one last time. The Wrestler snagged two Oscar nominations, one for Best Actor (Rourke) and one for Best Supporting Actress (Tomei). Jason Buchanan, Rovi

"The Wrestler" was a well-shot, cinema verite-style film, but the story was hackneyed, especially the wrestler's estrangement from his daughter.
The chief revelation is the viewer's amazement at Mickey Rourke's botched plastic surgery, and that he apparently spent every free moment of his fame hanging out in the gym.
An actor who has Sylvester Stallone's body and Joan Rivers' face is, relatively speaking, inexpressive. Rourke is reduced to his raspy whisper of a voice But of course the story is about those who live and perish by their aging bodies--not only Rourke's wrestler but Marisa Tomei's stripper. As a low-life redemptive genre flick "The Wrestler" was passable.
