Warrior
Stars: Tom Hardy, Joel Edgerton, Nick Nolte, Jennifer Morrison, Frank Grillo | Written by Gavin O’Connor, Anthony Tambakis | Directed by Gavin O’Connor
The ultimate test of a fighter becomes the ultimate test for a family when ex-wrestler Tommy (Hardy) returns home for the first time in fourteen years to enlist the help of his estranged father (Nolte) to win a coveted Mixed Martial Arts tournament. By chance, Tommy’s fighter-turned-teacher brother Brendan (Edgerton) has also entered the tournament in a desperate bid to provide for his family and the stage is set for a climactic confrontation between the two brothers.
Critically acclaimed as the new Rocky, Warrior is just that. Taking the same basic traits as Stallone’s classic flick – the underdog battling against both himself, his situation and in the ring – the film blends the same facets of action and melodrama and updates it for the Mma generation.
