Plot Synopsis
The Fighter, is a drama about boxer "Irish" Micky Ward's unlikely road to the world light welterweight title. His Rocky-like rise was shepherded by half-brother Dicky, a boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded in life after nearly being KO'd by drugs and crime.


My Review
The movie is a classic Boxing film which focusses on the ups n downs in the life of a Boxing Legend MICKIE WARD(Mark Wahlberg). The major plus point to the film was the extraordinary performance of Christian Bale as DICKIE EKLUND, bro of WARD. Excellent acting was let down a bit in the departments of Direction. The Boxing shots gave an artificial look but still the brilliant acting from Bale and Amy adams covered it up. Bale and Amy Adams have given commanding performances that may lead atleast one of em to fetch an Oscar for their performance.

My Rating: 9/10

Recommendation: Must Watch Film
