So last night I went to see “The Fighter”. The Fighter is based on the true story of professional boxer “Irish” Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg). It tells the tale of Ward’s relationship with his half-brother Dickie Eklund (Christian Bale), and how the brothers helped to put their city of Lowell, Massachusetts, on the map.
This movie fluctuates between fight scenes in the ring and fight scenes between family members. Not much in the way of surprises or intriguing dialogue in this film. There were however, outstanding performances by Melissa Leo as Alice Ward, Mickey’s mom. And Christian Bale playing Dickey Ward the crack addicted has-been fighter turned trainer.
Wait for DVD
