"Warrior" earns just the Tulsa World's second four-star review of 2011, and it's one of the best sports dramas I've ever seen, and I've seen most of them.
This picture about mixed martial arts opens Friday in Tulsa at AMC Southroads 20, Cinemark Tulsa, Cinemark Broken Arrow and Starworld 20. I went in not knowing much about mixed martial arts, so don't be hesitant to attend, especially if you are as big a fan of boxing movies from the past as I am.
The action is great, but the performances are the key to this story of a broken family full of men fighting for a shot at a title, sure, but more importantly for a chance at redemption.
"Warrior" plays a like a modern "Rocky," and I'm referring to the first film in that series.
Tom Hardy, who memorably played the identity forger in "Inception," creates an iconic bruiser of a character, and anyone intrigued by this man who plays the villain in the next “Dark Knight” movie shouldn't miss this picture.
Joel Edgerton, another up-and-coming actor who was so good last year in the Australian mob movie "Animal Kingdom" is excellent in a low-key manner, pulling off the family man that will connect most closely with viewers.
The fact that these two play brothers in the film becomes an incredibly compelling part of the movie considering that they haven't seen one another in more than a decade, and they're fighting for the same prize.
As their dad, Nick Nolte's fallen father portrayal is so honest and pathetic in turns, begging for forgiveness and raging against sins he can never take back, that it's nothing short of heartbreaking.
Take a look at the trailer for "Warrior," opening Friday.
