Rating: 7/10 --
...the real-life horror of professional wrestling is evident in the ruined bodies of Randy and his peers...

PopMatters
With another director, and most tellingly, with hundreds of other actors, The Wrestler might easily have descended into cliché.

The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY)
Rating: A --
It's unfathomable to imagine The Wrestler without Rourke... It's one of those rare cinematic experiences where an actor and a role come together in perfect harmony.

Reel Talk Online
A quarter-century (and, one senses, a lot longer in Rourke Years) since he pulled the popcorn-bag trick on Carol Heathrow and then talked his way back into her good graces, we'll still forgive Mickey Rourke anything.

Rourke doesn't just make good on the promise of his early work; he makes a miracle.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Mickey Rourke gives the performance of a lifetime as pro wrestler Randy "The Ram" Robinson, a former superstar now paying the price for twenty years of grueling punishment in and out of the ring. But he's about to risk everything to prove he has one more match left in him: a re-staging of his famous Madison Square Garden bout against "The Ayatollah." Darren Aronofsky directs a powerful cast in this action-packed saga of guts, glory and gritty determination that is "as irresistible as a headlock" (New York Post).
