Download Warrior Full Version
It’s no stretch to say that Warrior is the greatest MMA movie ever filmed, considering that its rivals for the title are Never Back Down 2 and the upcoming Paul Blart: Cage-Fighter. But even removed from its often-embarrassing peers, Warrior still holds its own as a great sports movie that succeeds by building itself on familiar sports movie hooks then subverting them whenever possible.

The film centers on a pair of estranged brothers, Brendan Conlon (Joel Edgerton) and Tommy Riordon (Tom Hardy), and their father Paddy (Nick Nolte) — a former abusive alcoholic who drove away his entire family and is playing out the rest of his life as a lonely, sober old man. When Tommy returns from Iraq following a stint in the Marines, he seeks out Paddy partly to exact some emotional revenge, and partly to ask his dad to help train him for ‘Sparta,’ ...
... a 16-man middleweight MMA grand prix that promises $5 million to the winner. (Tommy was a wrestling prodigy in high school, and its implied that his father was a Marv Marinovich-esque coach/maniac.)

For Brendan, a physics teacher whose past includes a stint as a UFC journeyman, the motives are much simpler: He needs the money. His daughter’s heart illness has left his family a month away from losing their house, and his moonlighting gig as a local MMA fighter gets him suspended from his teaching job without pay. $5 million would solve all his problems. And so, Brendan seeks out his old trainer for one last run at glory, despite his wife’s protests.
After a fateful gym session in which Tommy beats the crap out of a top-ranked loudmouth named Mad Dog (WEC/Strikeforce vet Erik Apple) — and an equally fateful injury to Brendan’s training partner Marco Santos (UFC vet Roan Carneiro) — both brothers have punched their tickets to Sparta, where they should logically be blown out in the first round. But since this is a movie, it doesn’t go down like that.
The ensuing fight scenes struck me in how different they are than their counterparts in boxing movies. Think of the Rocky films, and the long, dramatic build-ups when a fighter is knocked down and has to find the courage to stand up again. In Warrior, there’s barely a chance to catch your breath. It’s just frenetic, brutal action. Obviously, there’s no lay-and-pray and no stalling against the fence in the movie version of MMA — only strikes, slams, and submissions, from bell to bell.
I just returned from a sneak peek of the MMA movie, Warrior (opening September 9). I was ready to watch this film in my Ed Hardy/TapOut size small t-shirt. Just kidding.
While I would choose boxing over mixed martial arts 10x out of 10, Warrior did its best to keep me interested and entertained. Thanks to some solid lead performances and an ending that didn’t move into cliche territory, it accomplished it’s mission. In fact, the ending and actors pretty much saved an average film.
The youngest son (Tom Hardy) of an alcoholic former boxer (Nick Nolte) returns home, where he’s trained by his father for competition in a mixed martial arts tournament — a path that puts the fighter on a collision corner with his older brother (Joel Edgerton).
The two brothers must face each other in the fight of a lifetime, while also dealing with the wreckage of their broken family. As the ex-Marine, haunted by his tragic past, Hardy plays Tommy Riordan with such controlled chaos. After seeing him in this, there is no doubt in my mind that he is going to be amazing as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. At times during the film, Hardy made me think of a young Marlon Brando from On The Waterfront.
As Tommy blazes a violent path towards the title prize, his brother Brendan (Edgerton), 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, regrets and past betrayals keep Brendan bitterly estranged from both Tommy and his father. This was my first time seeing Edgerton and I came away impressed with his turn as a true family man.
If anyone has forgotten about the talent of Nick Nolte, then they are in for a shock. His performance is worthy of an Oscar nomination and also makes me wonder how good he could have been, if only he hadn’t ruined his career with some personal missteps. Some of his scenes in this movie are truly heartbreaking.
