| [Opening 1/23] Mickey Rourke is all worn-out brawn as former wrestling superstar Randy "The Ram" Robinson. A man who once sold out Madison Square Garden, he's now trading blows on the indie circuit, putting on a show for folks in VFW halls, when he's not making ends meet working at a New Jersey grocery store. Rourke is the star attraction in a movie that showcases his durability as a thespian. His character may spend nearly two hours getting beaten and bruised, both physically and emotionally, but he always bounces back, ready to swing just like the cat who's playing him. Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood also star. GRADE: B+ | ||
