Warrior

Anna and I went to see this last night, initially we only went to see it for the men on the poster. Tom Hardy, what a BABE. Turned out to be on of the best movies i have seen this year.


The youngest son (Hardy) of an alcoholic former boxer (Nolte) returns home, where he's trained by his father for competition in a mixed martial arts tournament -- a path that puts the fighter on a collision corner with his older brother (Edgerton). 


It takes a while to get into and you get confused a little at the beginning but it has one of the most emotional stories i have seen in a fighting film.
Two brothers face the fight of a lifetime - and the wreckage of their broken family - within the brutal, high-stakes world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). An ex-Marine haunted by a tragic past, Tommy Riordan returns to his hometown of Pittsburgh and enlists his father, a recovered alcoholic and his former coach, to train him for an MMA tournament awarding the biggest purse in the history of the sport. As Tommy blazes a violent path towards the title prize, his brother, Brendan, a former MMA fighter unable to make ends meet as a public school teacher, returns to the amateur ring to provide for his family. Even though years have passed, recriminations and past betrayals keep Brendan bitterly estranged from both Tommy and his father. But when Brendan's unlikely rise as an underdog sets him on a collision course with Tommy, the two brothers must finally confront the forces that tore them apart, all the while waging the most intense, winner-takes-all battle of their lives.  
I didn't think I would get upset over it but by the end me and Anna were in absolute tears. 
If you like a good action movie I would definitely suggest you see this. It's so fist clenching watching the fights, it makes you so intact with the characters you want to shout for them and cry when they get hurt.
