Review

The career comeback that Mickey Rourke kicked off with Sin City (2005) takes full flight in The Wrestler (2008). Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream), The Wrestler chronicles Rourke as down-and-out pro grappler Randy “The Ram” Robinson as he battles his way up through the independent circuit and back into the big leagues of the squared circle. Accompanying our hero on his journey is Marisa Tomei as Cassidy, a stripper with a heart of gold and T&A of pure platinum. Hot on the heels of her history-making nakedness in Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead (2007), Marisa Tomei nude in The Wrestler permanently reinvents the former innocent-looking cutie-pie into one of the most ferociously sexy knockouts of the 2000s.
