Randy "The Ram" Robinson (Mickey Rourke) is a pro-wrestler past his prime. Watch him as he tries to get his life together.

With such stellar acting on display, some directors might opt to stand back and just let things run on autopilot. Fortunately Darren Aronofsky is not that type of director. If it seems as though he has ditched all of the stylish flourishes he’s famous for in favor of a documentary approach, you aren’t looking close enough. No documentarian could ever be this lucky. Whether it’s following behind Ram as he enters the ring or zeroing in on Cassidy while she has a personal revelation, the camera is always in precisely the right spot for maximum effect. Aronofsky is able to make the intensely planned look effortless.
