The Fighter: A Winner

Yep. Really good. Better than I expected. Then again, put Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg together and you inevitably get great character dynamics. They are great actors. The others were all good supports. I love that they show how annoying families can be but then, in the end, the love and trust you can have for each other can mend destructive patterns or give someone the confidence they need to overcome their life obstacle. Bale, the recovering crack addict and "comeback" boxer loved his brother more than himself and in the end can act selflessly for him, freeing him from his restrictive vices. And Wahlberg loves his brother so much that he fights for them, not only himself. Really good acting. Very entertaining.
