Product Description
Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale star in this inspirational and powerful true story of two brothers who against all odds come together to train for a historic title fight that has the power to unite their fractured family and give their run down town what it's been waiting for: Pride. Struggling boxer Micky Ward has long been overshadowed by his older bother and trainer, Dicky, a local legend who is now battling his own demons. The explosive relationship of these brothers threatens to take them both down but at the heart of this story is a bond of blood that may just be their only chance of redemption.

Reviewed in Spain on August 3, 2023
And I am so glad I got it. Superb performances from the cast it has been nominated for and won awards at various award ceremonies (at the Academy Awards, Best Supporting Actor went to Christian Bale and Best Supporting Actress went to Melissa Leo) but the whole cast excel. The film is shot mostly in the city of Lowell where the film is set and is done with documentary realism – this is not an overly polished sickly sweet Hollywood film, and all the better for it. The music throughout has been chosen very well with some great sounding tracks.
The fight scenes looked very convincing (apparently no stunt doubles were used), as did the training, the real fighter’s trainer was in the film having never acted before, and, like all of the cast did a great job.
I would say that the Extra Features on the DVD are well worth a look.
This is not just a film for boxing fans, it would appeal to many people on many levels.
I feel that I have watched something more than a bit special in “The Fighter”.
(Mark Wahlberg has said that a sequel is in the works.)

Trailer
Some of the music in the film comes from The Heavy whose song How You Like Me Now? is played in the open scene and is a really good track to start the film. But there is also music from Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers and many others.
