One’s a documentary and one’s a work of narrative fiction. They were released over six months apart and have nothing official to do with each other. But washed-up pro wrestler Randy “The Ram” Robinson, the lead character of “The Wrestler,” is so tenderly embodied by Mickey Rourke that he feels like a real person. In which case he would’ve been a perfect subject for “Bigger,” Chris Bell’s entertaining, enlightening and deeply personal examination of the controversy over steroid abuse. A double feature waiting to happen.
