A funny, powerful, affecting drama with Mickey Rourke in the role of a lifetime as Randy 'The Ram' Robinson, a dead-beat pugilist making ends meet on the wrestling circuit. The result is the most brutally honest performance of the year as he wrestles for his conscience, his soul and his life at the same time.
