The Big Picture While there are films about professional wrestling circuits, the number of films about “real” wrestling is actually few and far between. This isn’t all that surprising. Considering how many pro wrestlers, such as Dave Bautista and Dwayne Johnson, have tried their hand at acting, the two mediums tend to coincide.
Release Date April 15, 2011 Director Tom McCarthy Cast Paul Giamatti , Amy Ryan , Bobby Cannavale , Jeffrey Tambor , Burt Young , Melanie Lynskey Runtime 106 minutes Main Genre Comedy ‘Win Win’ Shows the Positive Impact of Wrestling Win Win centers on the small-town attorney Mike Flaherty, portrayed by Paul Giamatti in one of his best performances, who has a part-time job as an assistant wrestling coach at a high school to provide some additional income.

Win Win stands out in comparison to other sports films from the 21st century because it puts equal emphasis on the coach and athlete. The story begins with Mike’s perspective and shows how his frustrations with his marriage and job have made him unsuccessful as a coach.
While the odd training regime that Mike utilizes adds some physical humor to the film, his relationship with Kyle is taken seriously. Both characters are forced to acknowledge that they have been going down untenable paths. Kyle had been looking to escape his home life, and his negative experiences had made him skeptical about showing passion for anything. Similarly, it had been so long since Mike truly invested in anything that he had lost sight of his priorities.
