The Fighter HD Trailer

Another Film that is new to DVD is The FIghter starring Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, and Amy Adams.

The Fighter is less about boxing and more about Mickey Ward (Mark Wahlberg) and his relationship with his dysfunctional family, mainly his brother Dicky (Christian Bale).

Christian Bale plays an outstanding role as Dicky Eklund (don’t ask me to explain how they are related.  It’s complicated).  With his recent films, I had begun to lose respect for Christian Bale’s acting.   This is his comeback!  This will make you forget about Terminator Salvation. 

Mark Wahlberg fits the role and does a fine job and what’s not to like about Amy Adams.

The Movie itself is enjoyable.  It’s a true story with good acting and above average cinematography.  It’s worth watching, but don’t go into the movie expecting a Rocky flick or something like Remember the Titans. 

This is a character driven drama, but it is worth the watch.
