Darren Aronofsky leaves stylized film making behind for this somber drama that's a showcase for strong performances. The redemption story about a washout wrestler who realizes too late that there's more to life. Mickey Rourke bares it all for a role that's tailor made for him. The film's hard to watch for those who are squeamish because there's blood. The ever stunning Marisa Tomei delivers another pitch perfect performance. YRCinema's coverage of the AFI Fest 2008.
