Deseves Oscar Recognition

Rating: 9/10 (26 December 2011)

This movie turned out to be more than what I expected. There is a Rocky-Esq feel but in no way does it hinder the movie. The acting was great, Tom Hardy I personally feel had an Oscar worthy performance. Joel most likely had a breakthrough for his career, he was great. Nick Nolte stole nearly every scene, he deserves an Oscar nomination.
The fight scenes were well done and entertaining, but it was the solid performances and story behind the characters that made Warrior special. Its emotional, entertaining, and inspiring. You truly feel for the characters.
Honestly, I would highly recommend. The box office numbers are surprisingly low but with time, i feel, this movie is going to catch on. I'd say it is arguably one of the years best. (Knowing the two brothers face off does not in any way ruin the movie, its a must-see).
