Not bad. I enjoyed watching Mickey Rourke perform despite his life being quite sad. Not the usual up-beat story line you would expect from a film like this, quite refreshing in a way! Having enjoyed watching WWF back in the old days it brought back fond memories. Also good to get an insight into how it might be back-stage before, during and after a big wrestling event. A worthy watch I'd say but nothing too special!

Cheers
