Truly emotional

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2011)

Gripping, emotional... These two adjectives comes to my mind after watching 'Warrior'. It has been a while since I wanted to jump in the air during watching a film, and I am not overreacting now. When I first watched the trailer, I thought 'yet another predictable fighting movie...' What a great surprise it was for me.
Story is about two men, brothers as we find out. Brendan and Tommy have not seen each other in a long time, and very deep tension, anger can be sensed when we see them both meet. They have their problems. Brendan is closed to losing his home, where he lives with his wife and three little daughters and Tommy promised his close to heart friend while fighting in the war to take care of his family. I do not want to get into details, so I will just skip to the part which is important - they end up in the MMA tournament, called Sparta, with the main prize of 5.000.000 $.
As opposed to other fighting type movies, where we see this bad dude, and a really good man, victim usually, this one is different. To the last moment we do not know who is really going to win, because they are both good, they both deserve to win the money. We see them struggling not only as opponents but also as brothers. They are hurt, have regrets.
This is why I really enjoyed this movie. Because it makes you feel the emotions.
I think it has been ages since I gave a film 10 out of 10 in rating, and I am happy to do it, especially that this film deserves a lot of credit.
Thank you for taking your time. Enjoy :)
