Great fighting scenes, some great acting, and an OK storyline.

Rating: 7/10 (26 July 2012)

I was not entirely sure what to expect from 'Warrior.' Admittedly, the title is what put me off for a while. But being in the mood for Tom Hardy films recently, I decided to give it a go. I am glad I watched it.
Tom Hardy was great in the film. His American accent was convincing enough, and his mysterious, tough-guy character was played well. Joel Edgerton was good, too. Just not as good as Hardy. Nick Nolte, however, stole the show in terms of acting. He played his role with perfection.
The storyline was somewhat predictable, but that will always be expected from a film such as this. On the other hand, the fighting scenes were great and made the film very entertaining. They were very realistic, and a lot of the time will have you on the edge of your seat as though it's a real mixed martial arts fight you're watching, and you know one of the fighters.
All in all, entertaining throughout, but it is a story you can probably guess the ending to before the film starts. It is definitely worth a watch.
