The only thing I can say is that this movie is basically a carbon copy of The Wrestler, right down to the ending, but it was anything but empathetic and kind. Fraser's performance is undeniably great and he deservedly won a Academy Award for Best Actor for his work, but the real question isn't if Fraser is worthy of the award, but rather is this movie worthy of his performance.
