The Fighter
Tuesday, December 14 at 7:00

Starring Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Melissa Leo

Powerhouse performances by Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Melissa Leo, and Amy Adams, propel this gritty yet tender, unexpectedly funny triumph by the always unpredictable Russell (Three Kings, I Heart Huckabees). It is a surefire Oscar contender and one of the year’s must-see films.

BrubeckInspired by the incredible true story of “Irish” Micky Ward, whose trilogy of fights against Arturo Gatti are the stuff of modern boxing legend, director David O. Russell’s hotly anticipated The Fighter follows Ward’s unlikely journey from the mean streets of Lowell, Massachusetts to his 2000 world welterweight championship fight in London. At first, Ward (producer-star Mark Wahlberg) lives in the shadow of his charismatic half-brother and trainer Dicky Eklund (the ever-amazing Christian Bale), the former “Pride of Lowell” who once went 10 rounds against Sugar Ray Leonard but is now the prisoner of a debilitating drug habit. As Micky’s star rises and Dicky’s universe spins further out of control, Ward finds himself at an impossible crossroads between family loyalties and career ambitions.

The Fighter
David O. Russell, USA, 2010; 116m
