Ratings and reviews

My dad loves this movie. He said it was good but i kept saying it was terriable. Then when i saw it i said it was still terrable. Then i watched it AGAIN then i finally said IT WAS A GREAT AND AWSOME MOVIE SO IF YOU DONT WATCH IT YOU CAN'T SAY IT IS TERRIABLE LIKE I DID. MY DAD ASKED ME HE SAID "Have you seen the movie wreslter and i said no so he said how do you know it is terriable if you havent watched it" SO MY ADVISE IS WATCH IT THEN SAY IF IT WAS GOOD OR BAD. WATCH IT A SECOND TIME

Hall Of Famer RICKY "THE DRAGON" STEAMBOAT Trained MICKEY ROURKE To Prepare Him For This Role Of RANDY "THE RAM" ROBINSON. I Was So Disappointed That Mickey Rourke Was Nominated For An Oscar For Best Actor And Lost To Sean Penn. I'm A Wrestling Fan And This Movie Was So Good.

I saw this based on other's reviews. Under publicized, but deserving of so much more attention. Mickey Rourke outstanding performance, cared deeply about his character and situation. Excellent story telling, very well done.
