Over the past some years, mixed martial arts has seen increase in popularity. Not surprisingly, we've seen a few movies about the sport in an endeavor to capitalize on its new mainstream appeal. "Warrior" is the newest endeavor in this growing line of films and only time will tell if this mixed martial arts version of "Rocky" accomplishes what it set out to be.
Tommy Conlon (Tom Hardy) is an ex-marine who has had an very tough go in life. He surprisingly returns home to see his father Paddy Conlon (Nick Nolte), who is a old alcoholic approaching 1000 days of being sober. Even though he can't get past the pain and anguish that his father caused in his life, Tommy asks Paddy to train him for an upcoming Mma event called Sparta. This event is a winner-take-all tournament to decree the best middleweight in the world. The winner gets 5 million dollars.
Kids Overalls
While Tommy is training under the tutelage of his father, his estranged brother Brendan (Joel Edgerton) is struggling to keep his home as his house continues to fall into to debt. Brendan also sees this same tournament as an opportunity to save him, his wife (Jennifer Morrison), and kids from the financial problems they have. With both brothers having more than legitimate reasons to fight, this may set them on a collision procedure both physically and emotionally, but they also need to worry about Koba (Kurt Angle). The man perceived as maybe the best Mix Martial Artist ever.

"Warrior" wasn't a good movie, it was a great movie. This is a must-see for anything who loves movies. Although cheesy at times, it is full of heart and contains even more substance. This movie tugs at your emotions as it focuses on issues that can tear a house apart. When speaking of emotions in a movie, I can usually look to the characters to interpret my point. In this film, the whole movie was emotional to the core. As the movie progresses, you see the full story unfold and we find out how things got the way they are surrounded by the habitancy in the film. They touched on roughly all you maybe could when speaking on tragedies and hardships that could go on in a family.
The fights were astounding and much best than actual Mma fights. They did kind of remind me of a few of those Pride Fc matches that I watched back in the early part of this century. With the fights and the full, story combining with allowable casting, it's clear to see that they put all they could into this film. Besides being somewhat sappy at times, some parts towards the end being expected, Edgerton's accent slipping out a few times, there's not much to complain about. There is one more complain, but I won't discuss it since it might spoil a part of the movie for those who want to see it.
Tom Hardy does a good job of playing the exiguous brother with loads of anger issues and Edgerton holds his own as the middle class father of two trying to keep things afloat. Nolte plays the third, but maybe the most considerable character as he provides the chemistry between his character and the other two that makes all stick together. He's more than believable as the remorseful father trying to piece things back together with two seemingly unwilling sons that are still angry and bitter towards him. I also have to mention that I got a kick out of finding Kurt Angle portray the Mma version of Ivan Drago, since I was a big wrestling fan years ago.
Despite the negative feelings the three main characters have for each other and the film being based on a destroyed house structure and the problems that corollary from it, this is legitimately a legitimate feel good story. It was somehow able to be hard, cold, and heartwarming at the same time. "Warrior" is probably the best film I've seen so far this year. I don't think you're going to find too many habitancy who dislike this movie if you tried. The end of the summer movie season looked like it was going out with a whimper, but "Warrior" made sure that didn't happen.
