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.
The movie was very dramatic and kept moving throughout. You get pulled into the lives of the people. Even though you may not be able to relate to them (and at times I think I could), you still feel like you can see the situation. Excellent acting and role play by all of the main actors. Definitely oscar worthy roles. I would recommend it be seen, although it doesn't need to be seen on the big screen to follow everything, it is worth the price. Be prepared for reference to drugs, drug use, and language.
