The Contender - 9 stars out of 10
Wow. The Contender is an absolute tour-de-force of acting. Joan Allen delivers over and over again with each scene. The true testament to her acting skill is her incredible shift from "enemy" to "hero" as you never know whether you should like her or not. Gary Oldman is great in every film and this is no exception. Add Jeff Bridges as a corrupt president and you have ideal cinema chemistry. Matching the great acting is an interesting story that will capture your attention and have you desperate to know the truth as the events unfold. Any fan of Oldman, Bridges, politics, or powerful acting is in for a treat with The Contender.
