I saw it and thought it was good, Rourke was amazing. The film itself is a little slow, it's very much a character study sort of thing, and honestly I didn't think Marissa Tomei was that amazing in it, stripping aside. She was good, but there wasn't very much to any of the characters except Rourke's. But I am glad I saw it. It's a really cool film because it's about such an over the top sport and yet it's really carefully paced and muted. Not a lot actually happens in the movie, but every scene really holds your attention, it's cool.
