If you enjoy excellent acting, then “The Fighter” is certainly a movie you have to see. Christian Bale won the award for best supporting male actor in this movie as did Melissa Leo for best supporting female actress. Both of them are superb and whoever did the casting of the family of the fighter in the title, did a superb job, because they are so superb at looking and playing the role of trailer park white trash, that I kept thinking that they had fetched them at a trailer park and that no actress could be that good!

One must not forget that Christian Bale made the news only a year or two ago for his ranting about, “Who do you think you are” at a cameraman on the Batman set, and you must appreciate for Hollywood to forget and overlook that so quickly, the performance truly has to be brilliant and indeed it is. I absolutely loved the movie, it had wonderful acting and I would strongly suggest you get it on Blue-Ray or DVD when it is released if you did not get a chance to see it at the cinema.
