Two brothers face the fight of a lifetime - and the wreckage of their broken family - within the brutal, high-stakes world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighting in Lionsgate's action/drama, WARRIOR. An ex-Marine haunted by a tragic past, Tommy Riordan returns to his hometown of Pittsburgh and enlists his father, a recovered alcoholic and his former coach, to train him for an MMA tournament awarding the biggest purse in the history of the sport. As Tommy blazes a violent path towards the title prize, his brother, Brendan, a former MMA fighter unable to make ends meet as a public school teacher, returns to the amateur ring to provide for his family. Even though years have passed, recriminations and past betrayals keep Brendan bitterly estranged from both Tommy and his father. But when Brendan's unlikely rise as an underdog sets him on a collision course with Tommy, the two brothers must finally confront the forces that tore them apart, all the while waging the most intense, winner-takes-all battle of their lives.

I'm surprised I didn't find a thread about this -- it was one of the top films in 2011 and had incredible acting, action, and emotional scenes. It flew under the radar for a lot of people surprisingly, so I figured I'd start a thread here to see if it sparks any interest.

Discuss.

Nice, I saw it for the second time tonight and will probably invite some friends over this weekend to watch it again.

Someone told me it was the MMA's version of "The fighter". I watched it hoping for another great movie and I wasn't disappointed. However I felt that the ending needed something else.

EDIT: I didn't like the ring side commentary at all during this movie. It's never done right in sports movies

I think I'm the only person out there who feels this movie is totally overrated and predictable.

I had such high hopes, too.

This movie was ALOT better than I had expected! I have watched it twice and have really enjoyed it both times!
The only way to attack structure is with chaos.

The forced emotions in this movie just makes it seem really bad for me.

Only the last 30 minutes do the movie justice, but by that time i already lost interest in the whole thing
I don't procrastinate, I just like to do things later.

warrior is nowhere near the top films of 2011. You can't compare that to The Artist, Descendants etc.

Dont flatter yourself mate the movie is predictable and cliche'd but the acting makes that completely irrelevant imo, if you told anyone the story without them seeing the movie anyone that isnt a 13 year old boy will say the story is predictabl, boring and been done so many times but the movie still transcends that and is awesome regardless of how nonsensical beating up your crippled brother is

Always a fan of Tom Hardy. Was a pretty decent movie, definitely worth the watch.

I loved this movie sooooo much. Finally an MMA movie done right. Even if the premise for the tournament was a bit ridiculous the movie itself was really well done.

nick nolte is a fucking beast, I always thought of him as the angry token bad ass guy from the 80's-90's but I have so much respect for him now
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

I loved the movie exept the ending. Why didn't they stop the fight after the younger brother got his shoulder dislocated? He could not even lift his arm to cover himself and was in no condition to fight after the third round. I mean, the dramatic effect was great and all, but alot of it was spoiled for me because i kept thinking to myself, 'they cannot possibly let the fight go on when he cant even cover himself...'

My favourite quotes from it:

"Yeah, I'll tell you somethin'. You can take that back to where you found it. You can leave the coffee in the pot, I can pour it out myself. And I can wake myself up too."

"So you found God, huh? That's awesome. See, Mom kept calling out for him but he wasn't around. I guess Jesus was down at the mill forgiving all the drunks. Who knew? "

I liked it. Fighting scenes were probably better than in any movie I've seen before, although still not near realism.

I didn't like it. The acting seemed really forced and poor overall, and very cliche/predictable plot.

Somehow the description of this movie, especially the last part, reminds me of this:

Best movie I've seen in a long time, even though I have no interest in MMA. Wanted the other guy to win though He was such a great character.
