HELL YEAH - Looks great
Category: Trailers
Two brothers face the fight of a lifetime - and the wreckage of their broken family - within the brutal, high-stakes world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighting in Lionsgate's action/drama, Warrior.
An ex-Marine haunted by a tragic past, Tommy Riordan returns to his hometown of Pittsburgh and enlists his father, a recovered alcoholic and his former coach, to train him for an MMA tournament awarding the biggest purse in the history of the sport. As Tommy blazes a violent path towards the title prize, his brother, Brendan, 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, recriminations and past betrayals keep Brendan bitterly estranged from both Tommy and his father.
But when Brendan's unlikely rise as an underdog sets him on a collision course with Tommy, the two brothers must finally confront the forces that tore them apart, all the while waging the most intense, winner-takes-all battle of their lives.
There has to be one feel good boxing/ fighting film every year and for some reason they are always uplifting. This one actually looks brilliant and I am looking forward to it. It is being directed by Gavin O'Connor who made the very uplifting MIRACLE in 2004 and also made Pride and Glory in 2008. IU wasn't a huge fan of Pride and Glory but I did enjoy Miracle. He knows how to make an uplifting feel good
And hell yeah seeing Joel Edgerton in a big budget US film - nice work and well deserved after all you have done. And Ton Hardy - he just rocks and OMG he looks so different - BULKED UP MUCH?? Huge. And let's not forget Nick Nolte playing a recovering alcoholic - oh the irony . This one is releasing on 9th September in the US and can't wait!
