Review of Warrior (2011) by Alexander_Fred — 23 Dec 2011
Warrior takes elements of the Fighter, Million Dollar Baby, and Rocky and tries to make an MMA film. While the fighting scenes are excellent and the acting is decent and becomes more than decent in the second half, this film still leaves us desiring the first great and classic film about the sport MMA.
There is far too little focus on the relationship between the two brothers and many questions are left unanswered as to their falling out and whether the relationship between both brothers are reconciled with the father.
Then the fact that the film seemed at times a commercial for Tapout with all of the not so subtle advertisements also downgrades the overall quality of the film. And finally, the final battle should never happened seeing that Tommy should be in military jail as admitted indirectly in the film in itself.
Nonetheless, there were moments that were inspiring and the ending managed some emotional impactfulness. All in all, Warrior is a good movie, but not a great movie.
