The Fighter (2010)”
Mark Wahlberg stars in Paramount Pictures’ inspirational docudrama exploring the remarkable rise of Massachusetts-born, junior welterweight title winner “Irish” Micky Ward. A determined pugilist whose career in the ring was shepherded by his loyal half-brother, Dicky (Christian Bale) — a hard-living boxer-turned-trainer whose own career in the ring was nearly sent down for the count due to drugs and crime — perennial underdog Irish Micky rebounded from a disheartening series of defeats to win both the WBU Intercontinental Lightweight title and the WBU Light Welterweight title thanks to a fierce combination of determination and hard work.
David O. Russell directs from a script by 8 Mile’s Scott Silver and Paul Attanasio (The Bourne Ultimatum). The film is rated R and falls into the genres of Drama, Action, Adventure, Sports & Recreation. This portrayal of Micky Ward’s struggle and triumph makes it an emotionally-charged and captivating film. Mark Wahlberg’s powerful performance, along with Christian Bale’s compelling portrayal of Dicky, makes The Fighter a must-see for fans of sports dramas and inspirational tales. With a talented cast and a compelling story, The Fighter is a film that will leave a lasting impression on viewers.
