Excellent Movie

Rating: 9/10 (19 January 2012)

I'm a great fan of sports, but I've seen a movie with sports genre, that's because I prefer sports as it is - real, full of passion and emoticons. In my opinion sports and movies just don't go together. Both should be kept apart.
Anyway after a lot of recommendation by friends, I decided to give this a go, and boy oh boy how wrong was I! This was easily the best movie that came out last year. After watching this I've decided to give "The Fighter" a go too. And any more recommendations for sports' movies are welcome too.
Anyway here goes the actual review... Hmmm, so where to start... This movie breaks out as completely unique and very moving. The story really takes you on a emotional roller-coaster. It immerses yourself into the movie and you can almost feel all the tension that runs between the characters. The MMA sequences definitely are on-the-edge-of-your-seat stuff and gives you goosebumps. Tom Hardy, Nick Nolte and Joel Edgerton, I would love to see these guys get rewarded for their brilliant acting performances. The performances are uniformly excellent, and the writing and direction by Gavin O'Connor is concise and real. If you haven't watched it go and watch it, you will definitely enjoy the ride.
9.5/10
