Mickey Rourke's comeback film parallels that of his character, Randy 'The Ram' Robinson, who twenty years later, decided to come out of retirement, and despite a near-fatal heart attack, he still managed to entertain the wrestling fans even though he only performed in minor wrestling promotions. The film is all about comebacks and ageless performances, and it shows that age is no hindrance to maintaining a career.
The film, with all its lighting and high-angle shots, make it one my favorite films. Although I have to disagree with the fact that they didn't cast stars from either TNA or WWE, the wrestlers themselves had fun acting with Rourke. The film was an ultimate masterpiece, given the positive accolades by critics and various awards.
