CGiii Comment

Christian Bale gives a stunning performance - well-balanced by Wahlberg.

The boxing scenes are a little weak but, overall, it is a fine character study of redneck life.

The Fighter is a drama about boxer "Irish" Micky Ward's unlikely road to the world light welterweight title. His Rocky-like rise was shepherded by half-brother Dicky, a boxer-turned-trainer on the verge of being KO'd by drugs and crime.
