OK call it late train or stand off attitude, perhaps even both but holy shit. This movie is all out amazing. I saw the trailer and basically thought "Oh great, Rocky 9". WRONG! I knew Bale has been a solid actor and Marky has had his gems. You ever see The Departed? So anyways every homie that has seen this movie went batshit so I figured ok, fine. Saw it last night in the best theater in the nation (Arclight <3) in the best seat in the house (empty back row, center <3). Went straight home after and marathoned 2 hours of youtube on Dicky Eklund and his younger brother Micky Ward. The Fighter is a true man's man type of movie. Heat, Godfather, Full Metal Jacket, Bronx Tale...ok you get it.
