Review
Warrior starts out slowly to provide some of the background to set the stage for this family affair, which then builds steadily to a grand final fight.
The major weakness of this movie is that the underdog-to-heroes plot is utterly predictable. Yet I would say it is a recommended watch if you enjoy fight movies. I rank it well above the classic Rocky in any case.
The major weakness of this movie is that the underdog-to-heroes plot is utterly predictable.
The characters get some depth and the acting of both Joel Edgerton and Tom Hardy is very strong. Nick Nolte starts out as a strong supporting actor but his role unfortunately fizzles out towards the end of the movie (a script problem, not his acting). But the movie peaks in its powerful fight scenes – aided by the fact that this film has chosen the Mixed Martial Arts cage (MMA) over the boxing ring as its scene.
Overall – a very decent movie. Enjoy it for the fight scenes!

Glad you liked it Geronimo – I agree they are some of the better fight scenes in recent cinema history!
