if you want to watch a movie that will get you Pumped-Up, watch Warrior

Rating: 9/10 (29 March 2020)

Definitely a movie that takes you on an emotional roller coaster, not necessarily a bad thing here.
Nice inspirational story touching on so many topics, mostly revolving around the catharsis of deep family issues.
Much of the difficulties the movie deals with ie., home foreclosures, friendly fire on US personnel, the loss of our US servicemen due to the seemingly never-ending war on terror - were very much at the forefront of our lives in 2011. Nice to see a movie about MMA fighting, that deals with those important real world issues (as well as alcoholism & estranged family), certainly adds a lot of depth.
If you want an uplifting emotional experience, I recommend this movie.
