I am not a professional film critic and don't want to pretend to be but that being said in my opinion this is an excellent movie

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2013

it's very difficult to rate a movie because I am by no means a professional movie critic and I have no intention of pretending to be one and that being said this is one of my all-time favorite movies because I hate movies that you know what is going to happen 20 min. before does and this movie keeps you on the edge of your seat guessing what is going to happen next but continually define yourself making wrong assumptions which makes watching it very fun and the acting and actors and it do a superb job and sense everybody has an opinion and one man's treasure is another man's junk you will have to watch it for yourself and make your own decision but in my book this is a really good movie.

Well worth seeing. Wonderful acting, photography, excellent directing and attention to every detail has told an inspiring story in a way which is very entertaining. We begin the story not knowing if a con game is being perpetrated or just a rich man's diversion. The message of this drama goes much deeper into human desire and fulfillment.

One of the best films of the 1990's!

The Game could be considered one of Michael Douglas best films. Sean Penn is excellent in a supporting role. The Game has you on the edge of your seat right until the end!

mind numbing thriller!

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2012

this movie was a hellava ride. More movies should be made that have so many twists and turns. The ending was a bit far fetched but non the less great!

So glad I saw the trailer for this film

I bought “The Fighter” after had seen the trailer for it. Sports related films are something I would normally avoid, but this one looked like it was worth a look.

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.)

With the DVD you get:

The main feature.
Commentary with director David o Russell
The Warrior’s Code: Filming The Fighter (28 mins)
Keeping The Faith (8 mins)
Deleted Scenes (20 mins
Deleted Scenes with Commentary (7 mins)
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.

Bueno pero podría ser mucho mejor...

Una gran película en una edición insatisfactoria.... La imagen y el sonido son buenos, pero lamentablemente no hay extras .... Una lástima, porque una gran película como ésta merecía una edición repleta de extras.... Sólo le doy 3 estrellas porque podrían haber incluido hasta un trailer... Sin embargo la película es bastante buena y tiene una de las mejores historias que he visto hasta ahora en una película. Es una pena que la editorial haya sido perezosa y haya sacado una versión tan pobre de esta película....
