The Wrestler

* Randy 'The Ram' Robinson: Fuckin' '80s, man. Best shit ever.
   Cassidy: Bet your ass, man.
   Randy: Guns N' Roses fuckin' rules.
   Cassidy: Crue.
   Randy: Yeah.
   Cassidy: Def Lep.
   Randy: Then that Cobain pussy had to come around and ruin it all.
   Cassidy: Like there's something wrong with wanting to have a good time.
   Randy: I'll tell you something. I hated the fuckin' '90s.
   Cassidy: Nineties fuckin' sucked.
   Randy: Nineties fuckin' sucked.

* Randy 'The Ram' Robinson: I just want to say... to you all tonight... I'm very grateful to be here.
   A lot of people told me that I'd never wrestle again. And that's all I do.
   You know, if you live hard, and you play hard... and you burn the candle at both ends... you pay the price for it. You know, in this life you can lose everything that you love... and everything that loves you.
   But goddamn it, I'm still standing here, and I'm the Ram.
   You know, as time goes by... as time goes by, they say, "He's washed up. He's finished. He's a loser. He's all through." But you know what? The only ones who are gonna tell me when I'm through doing my thing... is you people here. You people here... You people here are the ones... who are worth bringing it for, because you're my family.

8.4/10 на Imdb (> 55,000 голосов (о-о) по состоянию на 25/5/9).

~ Половина фильма — это охи и вздохи Рурка/Рэнди. Еще одна четверть — его голая задница. Но фильм всё равно цепляет.

++ Музычка. Саундтрек из серии must 've.

? Откуда оценка 8.4? Видимо, оттуда же, откуда и 7.5 у Rocky Balboa. Ностальжи?..

+ Marisa Tomei в роли Cassidy.
