While its story is probably something you've seen done in many sports dramas before it, its effectiveness transcends that fact and pushes it out of the way in glorious fashion. It's emotional, gripping, touching, heartwarming, and heartbreaking all at the same time. The point is, Warrior is an excellent sports drama that showcases incredible acting, technical editing, fight scenes, and directing. This is a short, straightforward review for a very straightforward movie. Other performances in the film, even Kevin Dunn's as the principal of the school Brendan works at, as well as the actors portraying Brendan's students, did fantastic. His charismatic, friendly, and motivational personality adds a lot to Edgerton's character and his journey. Another performance I love in Warrior is that of Frank Grillo (Crossbones in Captain America: Civil War). Nolte provides another memorable performance in the film, conveying a man who is broken but also a man who cares incredibly for his sons and their success as MMA fighters (despite the fact that he's training one to beat the crap out of the other).
Hardy and Edgerton play two brothers, Tommy and Brendan Conlon, respectively, and are excellent in portraying their strained relationship as brothers and their relationships with their loved ones and, especially, their father (Nolte). The next best thing about Warrior is its cast and their acting ability: their effort gives the film true emotion and heart, allowing viewers to forget about all of the sports-movie-cliches that fill up the movie. It is well-directed and well-shot, and it's amazing. The action in Warrior may be some of the best action I've seen in any sports drama, maybe even any action movie. The camera angles and sound editing makes you feel every thump, beat-down, and punch in every fight, and it is exhilarating. The film lays out the rules of an MMA fight fairly clearly, without explicitly informing viewers, and follows up with some impressive choreography and stylized fighting. First of all, you don't need to be a UFC aficianado to appreciate the fights or understand what's happening.

Now, the most obvious thing one would look at in an MMA movie is the quality of the fight scenes presented, so let's start there. Warrior is a Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) film starring Joel Edgerton and Tom Hardy, as well as Jennifer Morrison and Nick Nolte, and it tells the story of two estranged brothers (Edgerton and Hardy) as they come together in a worldwide MMA tournament in the fight of their lives. Time to review another one of my personal favorite movies, and a film that I believe is incredibly underrated in light of its quality and memorability.
