Someone I talked to who saw both this film and <i>The Hurt Locker</i> thought Jeremy Renner's performance involved a much bigger acting range than Bridges's did, which is why I hope I can get my hands on <i>The Hurt Locker</i> fairly soon.<br /><br />And yes, <i>The Wrestler</i> was much better, from beginning to end (as was Mickey Rourke's performance). Nothing in that movie seemed contrived, whereas the whole "boy is lost" scene in <i>Crazy Heart</i> felt heavy-handed and was foreshadowed from eight miles away. The ending in this film also wasn't as powerful as it was in that movie, which in some ways [POSSIBLE SPOILER AHEAD] made this movie the anti-<i>Wrestler</i>.Greg Salvatorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730593838362270359noreply@blogger.com
