Regarding Wick’s Review
OK AMC, third time was a charm for me. Based on my review, its obvious I loved the movie. It turned out to be much more than just a showcase for Rourke’s performance, which was my fear before reading your review.

Great review AMC. I’ve tried to see The Wrestler twice now, and both times it was sold out. So I saw Revolutionary Road the first time, which was good enough, but not something I would have otherwise seen. Then I saw Waltz with Bashir the second time. At least that was a movie I needed to see.

Anyway, I still gotta see The Wrestler, now more than ever after reading your review.
