Warrior



Warrior is a 2011 action drama directed by Gavin O'Connor. The film stars Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton and Nick Nolte. The film revolves around two estranged brothers, who join a Mixed Martial Arts tournament to win 5 million dollars. One brother is a loner and former Marine and the other is a physics teacher with a family. Nick Nolte plays their father who is a recovering alcoholic who is trying to rebuild his relationship with his two sons.

First off, the plot itself is very cliched and recycled. The plot definitely isn't that unique. The thing about the film is that it doesn't really matter because everything else is done very well. The acting is very top notch and the fight sequences are very realistic. It is also very emotional driven for a movie with so much fighting and action. If you are a fan of MMA and the UFC, you will like it but it has enough other qualities besides the fighting that anyone can enjoy.
