With this being my first post i thought it would be fitting to start with a movie that i really enjoyed on my first viewing and grown to really love after several more viewings. Warrior. It shares many resemblances to many films such as rocky and has the old cliches that go with the territory of sports movies, but warrior brings in abundance what the fighter couldn't, real heart felt emotion. I'm not going to go into the story, more the performances. In my view Nick Nolte is the stand out. You can really feel his heart just sink when the brothers knock back his efforts of forgiveness and as much as you can see why, you just want to see them work it out. His Oscar nod is well deserved. Tom hardy is an actor who since Bronson has emerged as one of the most gifted and sought after talents. His performance both physically and emotionally is great and resembles the things that his character has gone through to get to this point. Joel Edgerton is just as equally sound and brings the balance to his rival sibling, he is the like able underdog that everyone would root for and he does convince as the family man just trying to get by. Hardy has the hardest part for sure and by the end both points collide and ultimately divide your feelings and emotions. Its a real knockout, pardon the pun.
4/5
