Following the life of pro-wrestler Randy 'The Ram' Robinson - a brief success in the late 80s who now stacks supermarket shelves and lives in a trailer between small, low-paid matches - this brilliant film unflinchingly shows the grim realities of the wrestling business. From steroids and whispered in-ring choreography to awful injuries and poverty, it's a harrowing, mesmerising 2-hour giant. Oscar for Rourke, please.
