THE FIGHTER

Binge, Foxtel or Rent

The true story of two halfbrothers who embody two very different brands of boxer. Micky Ward (Wahlberg) is carefully guarding a store of potential that could take him all the way to the top. Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale) blew all the potential he had – and more – on an addiction to crack cocaine. The rousing drama steers clear of the many ringside cliches and contrivances that have been in place since Rocky was in short pants.
