The picture strikes me as a chick flick for guys. Don't get me wrong, I think it will be good, but it takes something extra to get guys into a theater to squirt a tear. This movie has it all, wrestling, a stripper, an estranged daughter, and a dickhead boss. They couldn't have cast it any better in my opinion, Rourke is perfect. The character actually has some parallels to the beast he played in Sin City. I can totally see Marisa Tomei as a striper (no offense intended), and Evan Rachel Wood has the perfect "angry estranged daughter" look.

Not only do I think this movie is going to be excellent, but I think it'll do quite well at the box office. The studio has seem to struck a sweet spot, between heart felt moments, and fricken body slams.

Here in Australia, this movie has already been released and gone, same with 'Earth', which is already out on DVD here. I thought the US always was the first to receive films.

If it's a choice between getting those movies early and living in Austrailia, you can have them.
