Okay so I know this isn;t actually useful. I'm the loser who is always last to see some movie that kicks ass. I mean fuck even my Grandmother saw The Fighter before me. Anyway.
Christian Bale makes Mark Wahlberg look like a chump-actor in this movie. Mark Wahlberg plays Mickey who is a low-level boxer from Lowell, Massachusetts. the depiction of Irish white trash families was fucking money. Wahlberg also helped produce the movie. But he plays an easy role for him. Boston/ Irish, check.

Christian Bale on the other hand plays Dicky, Micky's older washed-up crackhead brother. And he plays the shit out of that role. I think that drug depictions in movies are usually somehow warped, but this depiction of a crackhead holding onto the past was perfect. And the chick in the movie is pretty cute, and she punches like fucking Brock Lesnar, trust me.

But overall the story is a cheesy idea that the cast makes awesome. Wahlberg is good, but like I said, Bale is the shit. Jumping out of crackhouse windows into a pile of garbage, he did it all.
