HAVING A SMACK DOWN OF A DAY!
WARRIOR
Haunted by a tragic past, ex-Marine Tommy Conlon (Tom Hardy) returns home for the first time in fourteen years to enlist the help of his father (Nick Nolte) to train for SPARTA the biggest winner-takes-all event in mixed martial arts history. A former wrestling prodigy, Tommy blazes a path toward the championship while his brother, Brendan (Joel Edgerton), an ex-fighter-turned teacher, returns to the ring in a desperate bid to save his family from financial ruin. But when Brendan's unlikely, underdog rise sets him on a collision course with the unstoppable Tommy, the two brothers must finally confront each other and the forces that pulled them apart. - Lionsgate
PG-13, 2 hr. 19 min. – Drama Action
There have been allot of movies about fighting, but this movie is a mix of Rocky, The Wrestler and the Fighter all round house kicked into one movie
This movie is honest, personal, very real, dealing with desertion, alcoholism, regret and death.
It is a movie that is gripping, skillfully made, sensationally packed with action with a winning finish.
It is easily one of the best sports dramas seen in recent years.
The actors gave a knock out performance and even had me all teary eyed!
This movie is not just for the manly men that love the skop-skit- en slaan, but for those who love movies about underdogs or that wont mind a little bit of blood and body beat-downs.
I really am scared to rate it – as I want to do a second round and watch this movie again – ITS THAT GOOD!
