Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

cricketbat The Fighter isn't your average boxing movie. This film features an interesting look into family ties and their importance and impact. Christian Bale gives a very impressive performance as Dicky Eklund - I had to keep reminding myself that this was the same guy who plays Batman. This film takes a while to get going, and it feels a lot longer than it is, but it's still very well made and deserving of praise.

adonis98-743-186503 Based on the story of Micky Ward, a fledgling boxer who tries to escape the shadow of his more famous but troubled older boxing brother and get his own shot at greatness. The Fighter is one of the best boxing films from the last few years except Creed of course. Mark Wahlberg but also Christian Bale give 2 outstanding and powerful perfomances as 2 brothers who always had each other backs and alongside with an amazing direction from David O. Russell we get to see something that we have seen before in films like Rocky but also packed with some fresh new ideas and a cast of excellent and talented actors both old and new that showcase terrific perfomances all around. (10/10)

CinemaClown Powered by terrific performances from its cast, The Fighter also happens to be David O. Russell's best film to date that may not rank amongst the finest examples of its genre but it still serves as a competently crafted sports biopic that's less about the sport & more about the athlete, his family & his path to redemption.The story of The Fighter follows the life of professional boxer Micky Ward who withdraws from the boxing world after suffering a humiliating defeat in a match he already had reservations about. The plot chronicles the journey he takes to get back into the ring while focusing on his relationship with his brother whose own life has taken a self-destructive route.Directed by David O. Russell (best known for Silver Linings Playbook & American Hustle), the story journeys the same route that majority of boxing films tend to take plus also falls flat in between on a few occasions but what infuses a vibrant energy into it is the rich set of interesting characters it packs in & a talented ensemble that brings those characters to life with finesse.The boxing sequences are brilliantly choreographed and do provide the necessary adrenaline high when it matters but this picture is more focused on the relationship between the two brothers and illustrates it amazingly well, for those moments do pack a powerful punch. But it also suffers from letting it characters go a bit overboard at times, something that has become a norm in O. Russell's films of lately.Coming to the performances, the cast comprises of Mark Wahlberg, Amy Adams, Christian Bale & Melissa Leo, with Bale & Leo impressing the most. It's not that the input by leading cast falls short in any aspect, it's just that Bale & Leo take their ing characters to a different level, and the Academy Award they won for their respective works in this feature film is definitely an earned one.On an overall scale, The Fighter is no genre masterpiece but it still offers a sufficiently entertaining ride that will leave majority of its viewers satisfied in the end. It's not without its shortcomings but most of them get brushed away by the powerful, explosive & riveting performances delivered by its ensemble. The story isn't memorable by any means but what Bale & Leo pull off here will continue to reverberate for a few more years down the line.

Christopher Hearns Mark Wahlberg plays a role that he has played many times before, so don't watch it for him. Also, the script is rather soft when it comes to his narrative. It's just typical Hollywood fluff and I honestly can't tell the difference between this performance and his performance in The Big Hit.Watch it instead for the performance by Christian Bale and the clever writing that surrounds his character. Some good use of dramatic irony and some really effective use of unreliable narrator. The writing that surrounds many of the other characters is also quite solid.I guess that's the films biggest flaw, the main story line is pedestrian and the acting by the lead similar. Like often happens with based on a true stories, I get the impression that that fact is meant to impress me and make me interested in the main character. What they really needed to do was rely less on that for the main, and more on solid writing.
