An ex-Marine Tommy (Tom Hardy) returns home for the first time in fourteen years to enlist the help of his father (Nick Nolte) to train for SPARTA, the biggest winner-takes-all event in mixed martial arts history. His brother Brendan (Joel Edgerton), also join the event in order to save his home from foreclosure. This is SPARTA where brothers can be adversaries and finally, the two brothers must confront each other to earn the five million dollar prize.
For more than one hour, the film focus more on the drama, we will be shown each character’s background and motives; a mysterious war hero with his own hidden agenda, a science teacher returns to the ring in a desperate attempt to save his family from financial ruin and a father who has been seeking for redemption. Although the drama part is little bit boring, but I have to admit, it helps prepare us for the ultimate climax. The fight scenes are incredible. It will blow you away. Each are choreographed and shot with great energy, even the musical background is perfect, as if we are sitting in front row of a boxing match. One of the best thing about Warrior is we don't want to see either fighter lose. We feel touch by their motives and sympathyze for them, even for Tommy because behind all those brutal actions and rude behavior, eventually he’s still the man with the golden heart. But in the end, there can be only one winner, but the winner doesn’t take all.
