Mickey Roarke stars as Randy the Ram, a pro wrestler 20 years past his heyday. Life comes at Randy off the top ropes when he suffers a heart attack and is told to stop his lifelong passion of working the mat. Co-starring a very tasty Marisa Tomei as an equally faded stripper. A good drama with action, with the camerawork making you feel like you are in the room instead of watching on a screen. I don't know how accurate the portrayal of pro wrestling is, but it paints a fairly dismal picture. Sort of a downbeat movie that is fun to watch and maybe a little too easy for some of us to relate to. A solid piece of work. Recommended.
