For me this was a better version of the film "Invincible" which also stars Mark Wahlberg in a similar story of him being from a super small town and getting a chance to prove his athletic ability. Christian Bale's performance was very impressive, he does a great job playing and looking the part as a washed up retired boxer that has turned into a crack addict. I said in a previous review that I have a soft spot for films based on true stories and that have crazy trials to overcome and The Fighter fits into that category perfectly. And not only does he overcome his trials involving boxing, the family is also able to overcome some trials of their own so it has a great happy ending.
