Mickey Rourke stars as Randy "The Ram" Robinson, a onetime superstar of the mat. Now battered and estranged from his daughter (Wood), he ekes out a living getting beaten bloody in high school gyms and community centers around New Jersey as part of a tight-knit community of wrestling buffs. But when a violent heart attack and invasive surgery forces him into retirement, his sense of identity starts to slip away. He begins to evaluate the state of his lonesome life and his relationship with an exotic dancer (Tomei). Winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice film festival, the film is nominated for Male Lead and Best Feature at the 2009 Independent Spirit Awards. "A triumph from start to finish... Rourke gives the kind of performance that caps, redefines and reinvents careers."—Scott Foundas, LA Weekly.
