Finally got around to seeing this film and holy crap, that was a very good film. It starts with Rourke washed up, but making his way the best he can with himself and the people around him. Especially on Marisa Tomei as the stripper. As the movie goes on he suffers a heart attack after a brutal match in a ECW fashion, taking the doctor’s advice decides to retire before a big rematch.
While he tries to get more work at the supermarket, he tries to make up with his lesbian daughter. As it looks like they’ve reconciled, his lifestyle gets the best of him and the second half progresses into a spiril roller coaster of emotion, sadness, and Randy going back to the only aspect of his life that gives him all the love. Ending with his final match.
Until the drive back home, the “going out triumphant” actually hit me. Cause again it was an emotional ride. The ending was absolutely depressing. This was the flipside of the last Rocky film. Very surreal. Nothing is sugarcoated, which is a good thing.
Rating: 9 1/2
