My top 5 movies of 2011!

Rating: Null/10 (24 October 2011)

I watched this movie at Kuala Lumpur City Center last month and it just shot into my top 5 list! Not much promotion for this movie as I recall, so its a sleeper hit this year.
I first noticed Tom Hardy in Inception. He wasn't that tough-looking in it, so I had my reservation about him playing Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. Then I saw him in Bronson, so I was 50-50 confident that he can play Bane well. After seeing Warrior, I am 1000% confident he will break Batman's back next summer!!!! Sorry Bruce....
I didn't really knew Tom Edgerton before, but his role in this movie really put him in my radar. His torn, in-dilemma character is one of the best this year. I'll give him Oscar for this one. You can feel the attachment to him. From being a normal everyday teacher, struggling husband to care for the family, to mixed martial arts' (MMA) contestant, I truly enjoyed the transition.
There were not many MMA movies around, so for those of you who are sick of boxing movies, watch this one. The fight scenes not overly done, but very very intense, not just because of the choreography, but also because of the emotions involved.
Can't wait to see Tom Hardy as 'the man who broke the bat' next year!
