Those who enjoyed "The Wrestler" should try this wrestling-themed film noir set in 1950s London. Irene had to cover her eyes during parts of the climactic wrestling scene and quickly tired of Mary, the enabling, martyred girlfriend. (With those cheekbones, Mary could easily have found someone better to love.) But the nightmarish setting, inventive camera angles, and frenetic pace kept her on the edge of her sofa cushions throughout.
