Review
The film about boxing was never-ending. After Rocky and Raging Bull now we were treated to THE FIGHTER which is a project of David O. Russell. Although not the first but THE FIGHTER have advantages over some previous films because this one is able to integrate between boxing as a sport and drama behind the perpetrators.

THE FIGHTER still did not abandon the tradition of boxing movies. There are still scenes and of course practice scuffle in the ring that is able to stimulate the heart. And this one is about Mark Wahlberg deserve thumbs up because he is capable of displaying real boxer figure. Unfortunately, despite the name Wahlberg installed in the first place but in reality this movie is not the Mark Wahlberg movie.

The manuscript seems to be more in favor of Christian Bale and Melissa Leo though inevitably Wahlberg is also the fulcrum of both cast earlier. The figure is played by Wahlberg as if to let the characters shine Bale and Leo more. Regardless, THE FIGHTER practically solid in almost every line. No wonder if the film could be Oscar nominated for six categories at once.
