It doesn't mess around with unnecessary plot arcs, but slowly reveals who these characters are - their past traumas and why they are estranged, and their motivations for winning the tournament. The fight sequences are brutal, but completely believable. Nick Nolte was great, but Tom Hardy is rivalling Gosling for badass of the year! <br /><br />Note: I wasn't a big fan of The Fighter and the scenery-chewing performances. Everyone here is grounded and credible, and emotionally driven. It's a knockout!Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-20090362721984065442011-09-26T11:32:01.678-04:002011-09-26T11:32:01.678-04:00For sure man.

I've been telling people about this flick non stop, however, with the release of Drive, I kind of pushed Warrior aside in terms of badassness.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-85737830334418902682011-09-18T20:17:21.454-04:002011-09-18T20:17:21.454-04:00The trailer gives away too much, and it does not s...The trailer gives away too much, and it does not sell the movie very well. I was indifferent also, until I heard several fine critical comments. Boy is this a good movie. I found your post on the Lamb and I have include my post there as well. Let's tell as many people as we can that they are missing a great film if they skip this.Richard Kirkhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428986542891346618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-68532612029121268542011-09-14T01:26:57.152-04:002011-09-14T01:26:57.152-04:00Great review Alex.

It's a well-made and emotionally gripping story that brings out some real gut-wrenching moments as well as the great knock-outs. Check out mine when you can!Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
