What We Think: Well, it's a boxing movie and the trailer shows Wahlberg running in a gray sweatshirt, so it's hard not to think Rocky. But with Bale and Adams in the cast, plus Wahlberg's successful experience working with O. Russell, this film could be a solid contender come awards season. - Advertisement -
Cool to Know: The Fighter marks Russell and Wahlberg's third collaboration, following Three Kings and I Heart Huckabees.
