Though the reviews weren't great for this film everyone in thier late 30's to mid 40's has watched this film! It really is like alot of other movies, but Modine steps up and makes his character one to really root for throughout.
I can remember the Madonna soundtrack, the muscle-bound enemy Modine has to take down (which in reality Modine wouldn't have a chance), even the quote by Fiorentino; "Hey Lowden. Kick his ass". All of it led to a pretty cool ending and a really good flic.....if you are into 80's movies lol Was this review helpful? Yes

I liked this movie, as did my boyfriend, however, this movie is probably not as meaningful to anyone who has never wrestled. If you have ever wrestled, especially if you have ever cut weight, you will as least understand this movie. If not, I doubt its for you. Was this review helpful? Yes

Classic sports movie about sacrifice and heart.
To the other reviewer.... why wouldn't he have a chance to win in real life? The sport of wrestling is all about technique and cohones, and has very little to do with how much you can bench press. Was this review helpful? Yes

This movies is pretty good the wrestling in it isn't as down to earth as the movie "Reversal" an independant film. However the overall plot is better it shows how determined someone can be if they want to win bad enough. Reversal is equally good if not a better film though I didn't like how it ends it makes a good story though. Was this review helpful? Yes

This movie almost deserves 5 stars based on the soundtrack alone. Madonna, REO Speedwagon, Berlin, Don Henley, John Waite, Sammy Hagar, Foreigner, Quarterflash...need I say more? Ok..JOURNEY throughout! What a great film. CLASSIC 80s. His nemesis "Shoot" even LOOKS Russian! Was this review helpful? Yes

Just watched this for the first time in 2010. Picture perfect 80's movie if you want to get a feel for the 80's. Good soundtrack, although Madonna was used too many times. A bunch of young actors you might be more familiar with now. Was this review helpful? Yes

This has to be one of the worst movies I have seen in years. I managed to get through 1/2 of it then had to turn it off. The acting was horrible - the story line was weak. What else can I say? Don't waste your money or time. Was this review helpful? Yes

This is sicko NAMbLA SKANK! AVOID! Modine is a homosexual and the "girl" is actually a kouros girl, a man "reborn" in a girls body, although many koros girls -- Madonna, Jessica Alba, Vanessa Williams, Jamie Lee Curtis -- look like boys if you look closely. For some reason jews think wrestlers are homosexual, most likely because jews are so weak and diminutive. Here they pair a wrestler with a kouros girl, what the jews consider a step towards the wrestler becoming homosexual. AVOID! Was this review helpful? Yes
