Three Wise Men

Academy award nomination for best performance by an actor in a leading role and best performance by an actress in a supporting role slipped away from rough Mickey Rourke, who portrays Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson and slightly aged, but still sexy looking Marissa Tomei as sensual dancer Cassidy.

All I can say … shame. Because the movie is quite good. Drama describing a relationship between ‘The Ram’, his daughter Stephany played by Evan Rachel Wood, and wrestling. He is constantly hunted by choices he has made in his life, and Cassidy always has the cure for them. All is fine until one day, when he least expected falls down and ends in a hospital bed.

Movie was produced and directed by Darren Aronofsky whom we had the pleasure of meeting in the science fiction drama The Fountain. Movie is a constant flow of unknown feelings which tear The Ram apart. Constantly falling and trying to stand up until a supporting hand picks him up and helps him find his way.

It can easily be rated 9 of 10.

Bear in mind that this is a drama, a sport drama. Where people get hurt. Some blood, acted violence, 1 or 2 sex screens, drugs, harsh language, probably not suited for younger audience.  Have a peek at the trailer if you have not seen it and remember “The only place I get hurt is out there.”.
