Blasphemy!

But I agree with the rest of your take on The Wrestler.

It's understated, but awesome.

I'm sorry, but I stand by this. The final strip club scene, where she's half heartedly dancing around on the stage of her crappy strip club, and nobody's paying attention? that's just depressing.

the pierced jubblies were a nice touch, though. I'll give her that.

Liam Neeson was good as a guy who kills lots of people but WTF on the French with no subtitles then having a French bureaucrat speak English with an American accent then having Neeson pass himself off as the same w/o at least copping an accent française to the Eastern European baddies. Interestingly, co written by a Frenchie- Besson- the film seems somewhat anti French and pro torture.
Ultimately you end up with a standard Hollywood thriller/action flick.
I saw it this weekend and it's a good standard Hollywood thriller/action flick, and that's all it sets out to be. I was looking for a way to kill a couple hours before the Super Bowl, and Taken did the trick.
