The Fighter

Christian Bale back to his Machinist form.

Another great movie, another great part for Christian Bale. I'm only singling him out because I've yet to see him do bad. But the other actors Mark Whalberg and Amy Adams were also at the top of their game.

The movie is about the true story of a wannabe fighter who is being trained by his crack-addicted brother, and his rise to welterweight champion. The chemistry between them is fantastic. The movie is one part about boxing and two parts about family. A very white trash family by the way.

Another great thing is the way the fights are filmed. Those guys are really punching each other. Kudos for Whalberg on the fighting.

Just watch the movie, and stick to the credits to see just how acurate the portrayals of the brothers were by Whalberg and Bale.
