An epic film that is about more then fighting

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2015)

I have heard nothing but good things about warrior and now I have seen it and boy does it live up to the hype in my opinion. The premise of this film sees two brothers who are both down on their luck enter a ufc tournament which they both look to win. Now joal Edgerton has had an interesting career to say the least but he is fantastic in this film. He is the everyday hero that we root for because he is relatable and the one character that is a good person and that you really like in this film. Tom hardy is also phenomenal in this film, from the very first time you see him you can tell he is damaged and has allot of anger and he is so mysterious that it makes him a truly fascinating character. Nick nolte plays the father and he was also great in this film and you really felt the pain in his character and you feel for him at times even though you do realise he has his issues. Frank grillo is really good as edgertons trainer and the rest of the supporting cast were great too. The story is fantastic, this film is about a broken family and you believe everything and there are some moments where you want to cheer and where you want to cry and that is due to a great story. The script is great, the dialogue made all the characters interesting and the writing helped make it great to. The style if the ufc fights was fantastic with all the hits feeling real and impactful. Overall this is a truly fantastic film that should definitely be seen.
