The Fighter - starring Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale

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 critics are talking oscars for this, and its not surprising. A "Million Dollar Baby" and "Rocky" style storyline, strong cast, and Christian Bale showing how serious an individual he is when it comes to "becoming" the character.
