The Backyard (2002)
10/10
This is the "real fight club"
3 October 2003
Warning: Spoilers
I heard that Barry Blaustein called this the "real fight club" so was really excited to see it. In case you don't know, Barry Blaustein made Beyond The Mat, and it's well known that he loves this film. I also had read a lot of reviews before I saw it, and a lot of people really, really liked this film. So my expectation was pretty high but I'm glad to say this is a really good movie. I've been a wrestling fan for as long as I can remember, but never would I do what these kids do. This completely shocked me. SPOILER TO FOLLOW: Some of the characters I loved, some were just warped, but in the end the unbelievable triumph of the main wrestler validated the entire movie. I loved the stories and hope there is a sequal one day.
