In fact, two of the gladiators\u2019 epic battles (one in 2002, the other in 2003) were dubbed \u201cThe Fight of the Year\u201d by Ring Magazine.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/The-Fighter-1a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignright size-full wp-image-3159\" title=\"The Fighter 1a\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 260 173'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/The-Fighter-1a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t expect to see any of those classic showdowns in The Fighter, an overcoming-the-odds bio-pic which culminates a couple of years earlier with Micky\u2019s first world championship bout in London against the division\u2019s then reigning titleholder, Shea Neary (Anthony Molinari). For cinematic purposes, director David O. Russell (Three Kings) was far more interested here in recreating the rampant dysfunction marking his protagonist\u2019s personal life than with merely chronicling the aspiring contender\u2019s rise inside the ring.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/The-Fighter-2a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignleft size-full wp-image-3160\" title=\"The Fighter 2a\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 260 173'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/The-Fighter-2a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the character-driven plotline proves particularly compelling, thanks to its examination of Micky\u2019s angst as he contemplates cutting the ties to the albatross hanging around his neck, namely, his smothering tight-knit family. Reminiscent of the cast of Jersey Shore, except with thick New England accents, the trashy clan is run with an iron fist by his domineering mom, Alice (Melissa Leo), a meddling matriarch who doubles as his business manager. Meanwhile, she\u2019s directed her other son, Dicky (Christian Bale), to serve as Micky\u2019s trainer. But that hasn\u2019t been working out at all because he\u2019s a washed-up boxer with a crack pipe dream of mounting a comeback, despite a bad drug habit and regular run-ins with the law. The boys also have seven sisters, gum-smacking, couch potatoes sporting mullets who function as a veritable Greek chorus inclined to rubber stamp their momma\u2019s every wish, however unreasonable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/The-Fighter-3a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignright size-full wp-image-3161\" title=\"The Fighter 3a\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 260 173'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/The-Fighter-3a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"173\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Micky finally summons up the gumption to do something about his family\u2019s always frustrating his potential after he falls in love at first sight with Charlene (Amy Adams), a college-educated bartender offering him the kind of encouragement and support that he really needs. The proverbial straw that breaks the camel\u2019s back arrives when he brings her home to meet the folks only to have them tarnish her name with unsubstantiated gossip designed to wreck their budding romance before it even has a chance to blossom.<\/p>\n<p>That unwarranted attempt at sabotage has a salutary effect on Micky who steels his resolve to find a capable corner man to replace Dicky in order to begin his inexorable assault on the boxing crown. A fitting tribute to a real-life Rocky and Adrian featuring a quartet of inspired performances by Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Melissa Leo and Amy Adams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Fighterby Kam Williams Headline: Wahlberg Stars as Real-Life Rocky in Overcoming-the-Odds Bio-Pic Distributor: Paramount Pictures Director: David O.
