Watched “Warrior” last weekend and I liked it very much. The movie is based on the championship fight called Sparta where various athletes demonstrate their fighting skills in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). The story revolves around 2 brothers and the roles were played by Tom Hardy & Joel Edgerton. I must say that both of these actors have played their roles to perfection. Tom Hardy was one of my favorites. I liked his role in Inception and now he is playing the bad guy (Bane) in the upcoming Batman movie. In “Warrior” Tom Hardy represents flawless raw emotions and I must say that his acting skills have improved a lot. I just can’t imagine how hard he had worked in shaping up his physique for this role and the role of Bane.
Though the movie revolved around the story of these two brothers and how they face each other in the ring to fight for the championship title, but to me the best part of this movie was the performance of Nick Nolte. I simply got smitten by Nick’s acting and I must say that he deserves an Oscar for this performance. I recommend watching “Warrior” not for the kicks and the MMA fighting sequences but for the superb acting and the story that weaves the movie and all its characters together.
Last year “The Fighter” did a great job at the Oscars and I wish that “Warrior” could do the same. I was planning to watch “Contagion” but my mind got changed at the last moment. After watching “Warrior” I have no regrets for the last minute change of plans and I am happy I got to see something totally awesome.
