Ludicrous plot but great performances

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2019)

Warrior is one of the better fighting movies put to celluloid, but like it's other better known relatives it suffers from ludicrous plotting. Nevertheless if you can look beyond the unlikeliness, there is a very entertaining film simmering underneath underpinned by some truly brilliant performances by all three of the leads. Egerton in particular is brilliant as the the elder brother trying to hold his family together. So is Hardy as the younger brother dealing with some serious issues caused by his abusive alcoholic father and the impace that had on his childhood. The fight scenes are also very well chereographed so if you are interested in fighting then this film comes highly recommended.
