Sparring with the Champ
Review: The Fighter Seldom does a film that is constrained by a hackneyed premise leave one with an indelible feeling of jubilation once the end credits roll. The cumulative result of a highly gifted actor's performance and age-old storytelling with the hero overcoming insurmountable odds style-pathos, The Fighter creates this jubilant effect and positively sends a euphoric tingle down just about anyone with a warm heart's spine.
