The Booker
January. 01,2011Steve Scarborough doesn't like what's happened to professional westling so he's set about changing it, one match at a time. The Booker follows Steve as he takes Platinum Championship Wrestling from idea to reality. Shot over the course of 4 years, we see his wrestling school grow into a wrestling promotion, from working in the back room of a theater space with 4 students to holding a show at a 2,500 seat arena. See how far Steve will go to be a successful booker and save pro wrestling from itself
Reviews
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
