AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

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)

Harrison Tweed (Top Dawg) Yes it's been done so many times. Yes, Director David O. Russell is a great director, but this type of film is not in his wheelhouse. But it is now! Wow, what a pleasant surprise this film was. The screenplay and direction combined made this film look like it's the first boxing film I've ever seen. But the real hero in this film is the insane chemistry and performances of both Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale, the latter just nailing his role. Amy Adams and Melissa Leo were also amazing in their roles. Then finally add to the mix that this is based on a true story - and executed perfectly, you end up with greatness in film- making. A truly enjoyable film and a must see! It's a 9/10 from me!
