not seen it so can't comment.
but i'll say this, if a film is made or broken by a single scene then it's a strong scene or vice-versa.
i must confess that i still have not seen the last 20 minutes of wrestler, the confines that parenthood place upon one...
that notwithstanding i found rourke's performance convincing to the max. he is actually a man who knows first hand what it is like to take a battering.
not saying that makes him a great actor!
the wrestling scenes? imagine if you will a group of 20/30/40 yr old blokes who do that for a living. you reckon they're gonna knock their pans in every night?
