Warrior is a good fight flick but might make you cry if you have daddy issues

Rating: 7/10 (15 December 2011)

Helloooo!! Just checked out this sleeper and it was OK. Cinematography and themes are similar to the fighter but the acting is no where near and the mma thing isn't as big of a deal as you would think. The main point of the movie is the effects of alcoholism on a family. Nolte is great as always as a former boxer and wrestling trainer to his sons. After years of drinking his family is torn apart. His two sons hate him and they all go their separate ways. One to war,,,One to a family. Through hardships in both their lives they turn to ring matches for financial gain. Thus a modern day kumite bloodsport style movie is born. Of curse its tapout mma stuff and not backbreaking action. The best parts of the movie are the scenes between Tom Hardy kicking some major ass and not showing emotion or he's making Nick Nolte feel like a complete p.o.s. for being such a bad father in the past. This is really a "BRO" movie. Some OK fights but pretty predictable. Redbox it up,,,,but could be an OK present for an mma fan that has daddy issues
