“The Fighter” just struck paramount this month before his 15th birthday, and it is certainly one of the films of the new programs and films on Paramount more this month you have to watch.

If you had never seen this film before, it is understandable. He has been nominated several times at the 83rd Academy Awards, but since then, this is not one of those films that you are constantly on television or hear moviegoers evoke many times.

In addition, like many award films, this has not brought tonne Box-office, just falling under $ 130 million.

But I had the chance to watch it earlier this year at the Atlanta Film Festival and I can say safely that it is a film that everyone should watch at least once.

There are two reasons for this. First of all, the last boxing match is incredible, and maybe the best boxing match I have ever seen in a film.

Second, Christian Bale’s performance is simply incredible. He steals Mark Wahlberg’s film, and it is not surprising that it earned him an Oscar.

So, if you have never seen this sports drama of David O. Russell before, it’s your chance. Here’s why “The Fighter” is a must now that it is available to broadcast on Paramount Plus.

What is “the fighter” talking about?

“The Fighter” features Mark Wahlberg like Micky Ward, a Lowell boxer, Massachusetts.

Micky is what you would call a “springboard” boxer. This is the guy you beat to spend your career at the next level and get better fights.

He is managed by her mother, Alice (Melissa Leo), and trained by her brother Dicky (Christian Bale), a former boxer who still lives with renown of 10 complete rounds with the legendary boxer Sugar Ray Leonard.

Their dynamics are toxic. Alice is organizing bad fights for Micky and Dicky is a drug addict who cannot be invoked. While Micky is developing a new relationship with the local charten bartender (Amy Adams), he realizes that he must get his family out of his professional life if he wants to have a chance to be more than a springboard.

Bale steals the Wahlberg show in “ The Fighter ”

“The Fighter” is incredibly well done, really good film. And for the most part, that’s just that – really good.

But there are two places where this film reaches grandeur, and the chief among them is the performance of Bale as half-brother of the drug addict of Micky.

Many characters in this film do not connect with you. You are not strangely rooted for Micky de Wahlberg before the last boxing match, which, as I have already mentioned, is a technical wonder and probably the best boxing match in any film, never.

But the story of Dicky is incredibly convincing, and Bale brings him out of the park. He completely embodies the erratic and delusional boxer throughout the film in a way that can only be described as a transformer.

Dicky too, is transformed into its own transformation, and watching Bale first transform into the initial iteration of Dicky that we meet at the start of the film, then continues to change his performance as the character develops, is simply a masterclass in agitation.

So, even if a large part of this film is good, but forgettable, Bale’s performance and the final fight will remain with you long after watching it.

You don’t believe me? Start paramount more now and look at it for yourself. Then go watch the “training day” on Paramount more once you have finished, which also offers an incredible and oscarly performance.
