Title: Great story combined with great acting
Review: A great story is one where you have to watch the film so you don't miss the plot. That is one reason that The Fighter works so well as a film. Christian Bale is about as far removed from being Batman in this film. His crazy eyed, crack addict is an amazing performance. Mark Whalberg is also amazing as his brother who was one of the most underrated fighters of the last 25 years. His inner struggle between wanting success and wanting to be loyal to his family but also feeling the need to succeed and seeing that his family may be what is holding him back. His lack of an Oscar nomination was a vast crime.Simply put this is a terrific and incredible movie. I recommend it for anyone who is tired of the usual garbage we see at the movies.
