My wife and I took in The Fighter tonight. It's a great movie!
Christian Bale is outstanding, and I think he gives an Academy Award performance. Amy Adams is excellent -- the movie shows she's a very versatile actress. There are other great performances too.
The storyline is pretty good. A bit predictable, but based on real events.
If you can't stand F-bombs, you won't like the movie. But having been in the Boston neighborhoods depicted in the film, the language is typical. I thought the dialogue was authentic.
Overall Grade: A
I wouldn't be surprised if it wins best picture...
