Episode # 301 The Fighter with Sadia Azmat and Al Horner from Script Apart

Sadia Azmat (stand-up comedian, writer and comedy producer) and Al Horner (Script Apart podcast, Empire Magazine) join Flixwatcher remotely to review Sadia’s choice The Fighter. The Fighter is a 2010 biographical sports film directed by David O. Russell and based on professional boxers (and half-brothers) Micky Ward (Mark Wahlberg) and Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale). The film was inspired by the 1995 HBO documentary High on Crack Street: Lost Lives in Lowell, that features the Eklund-Ward family. It also stars Amy Adams as Micky’s girlfriend Charlene and Melissa Leo as Alice Eklund-Ward (winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress). Bale’s incredible performance as the crack addict Dicky also won him a Best Supporting Actor Oscar, managing to bring humanity and humour to the former boxer struggling with addiction. While The Fighter doesn’t necessarily follow the sports film formula it still packs a punch as a character focussed drama with Bale giving a standout performance. High recommendability and engagement scores give The Fighter a highly recommended overall score of 4.21.   [supsystic-tables id=314]   Episode #301 Crew Links Thanks to the Episode #301 Crew of Sadia Azmat @sadia_azmats_ and Al Horner @Al_Horner from @ScripApart You can find their website here https://twitter.com/ScriptApart And at https://twitter.com/EmpireMagazine And at https://twitter.com/Guardian And at https://linktr.ee/sexbombbook Please make sure you give them some love   More about The Fighter For more info on The Fighter you can visit The Fighter IMDB page here or The Fighter Rotten Tomatoes  page here.
