VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

morrison-dylan-fan Taking a look at some DVDs that a family friend had recently picked up,I noticed a near-forgotten bio-pic on pro-wrestler Sting.With having seen some clips of Sting during his WCW days,I decided that it was time to witness his moment of truth.The plot:Watching wresting on TV with his brother, Steve Borden begins to dream about becoming a professional wrestler.Spotted at a fitness centre by a promoter,Borden finally gets his foot in the door,by being partnered up with a fellow up-coming wrestler.As he tries to iron out the flaws in his wrestling style,Borden gets married to his long time sweetheart Sue.As he starts to become a big name in the business,Borden begins to enjoy the luxuries that the lifestyle offers,as his marriage begins to fall apart.View on the film:For a movie which contains the word "truth" in its title the screenplay by writer/director George King takes some huge liberties with reality.Starting with a look at Borden's childhood,King randomly jumps around the decades and moves events in Borden's life to periods where they did not take place.Whilst he does show a keen eye for using some well-chosen archival moments in Borden's wrestling life,King makes the newly filmed wrestling scenes lack any sense of excitement,thanks to King focusing just a little too long on the small amount of extras/lack of crowd noise that the budget could afford.Final view on the film:A film which fails to sting.

azrael979 Having been a wrestling fan probably longer than most who have commented on this title have actually even been alive, I feel I can safely comment on the quality of this title.The story, whilst somewhat skewed towards Stings belief system, is still a good story of how he progressed through the ranks of the wrestling world and became one of the most recognisable faces of wrestling, despite never wrestling for WWF/E.The archive footage from WCW is worth watching this movie alone.The end is a little corny, with his 'How I became a bible thumping god botherer' but, it is still a good film overall and worth seeing if you are a die hard wrestling fan of the likes of WCW, ECW, WWE, ROH, DSW etc..I will now respond to some comments made by previous posters,petrie_ds_10 - I mean you could see part of the WWF/E logo during all the WCW footage. No, you couldn't. there is NO WWE logo anywhere in this movie. You maybe mistook the WCW Nitro black centre icon for the WWE Logo, but I'm sorry, no real WWE logos anywhere.DLman91 - All of the wrestling footage is of NWA-TNA. Erm, no its not. Did you not SEE the WCW matches in this film??There's NO truth in it at all, and if any wrestling fans who KNEW the business saw it...they would agree. No, we wouldn't. I have been a wrestling fan for over 25 years, a lot longer than you have been around for I suspect..

brandonalgie-1 I watch wrestling every Wednesday and Friday on fox 8 at my friends house and this movie is the BEST wrestling movie EVER because you see sting a different way then when he wrestled on TV. I also found out a lot of things i did not know about him and his career like when he traveled and had a lot of muscle problems and lots of other things. i am a massive sting fan and it may be a bit out but it is still great. If anyone wants to buy this movie i highly recommend it for a wrestling fan and for anyone who can not find a movie to rent this will make you want to watch wrestling every hour of every day.you will be surprised about the wrestling life.

petrie_ds_10 This movie had no real acting in it. Just a few scenes with dialogue and the rest must have been public domain archival footage. It was just a lot of unnecessary clips of stuff that had nothing to do with his life. Also, what really got to me was the sheer unprofessional-ism of this film. I mean you could see part of the WWF/E logo during all the WCW footage since WWF/E owns everything that WCW owned and the WWF/E felt the need to add their logo to everything. But I would have done something to block that out. Also, this movie had one of the worst endings of all time. There was a lot more that should have been explained but it just wasn't. Do not expect a documentary like "Beyond the Mat" or something like it because you will sorely be mistaken. Instead this movie is amateurish and jumps around a lot. Oh, and even though the credits in the trailer featured a slew of wrestling legends. They don't even have parts in the movie. Somehow you can pass off for someone being in a movie just by showing old footage rather them taking time out to actually be in a few scenes. Sorry Sting, it could have been a lot better.
