As a former pro wrestler, I'm a lock for enjoying a movie that celebrates a wrestling icon and glorifies the art form. It's clear how dedicated Emily Bett Rickards is to this role as she embodies Mildred Burke both in and out of the ring. Despite Rickards serving as a strong backbone for the movie, it suffers from pacing issues and lacks proper character development for far too many of the peripheral characters, resulting in a sense of apathy when they randomly surface to impact the plot in major ways.
