Query: Just what I hoped it would be...

...not just a great boxing movie, but a great movie. I've been a Bale fan since American Psycho, and he went nuts here too. Some of his facial expressions in The Fighter are classic. I'll admit too that Mark Walberg has really impressed me throught the years. He doesn't do much, but he does it really well. Seems the Boston area has had its share of movies the past many years. Add this to the great pile of those. Melissa Leo played a very believable trashy and medling mother. She and Bale both won Oscars. Amy Adams also had a super part, and wears black undies well.I'd call this film a must for anybody that likes a good sports drama, great acting, the cast, etc. It might be the best boxing movie since Rocky 14.
