Movie looks pretty terrible though in my opinion.
Epic with no payoff is my guess.
Summary of the movie-Mixed martial arts may have found its version of “Rocky” early yesterday as the trailer for the upcoming MMA movie “Warrior” was released.
The film stars actors Tom Hardy (“Inception,” “The Dark Knight Rises”), Nick Nolte and Joel Edgerton (“Animal Kingdom,” “Smokin’ Aces”).
Click the link to see the trailer.
The story revolves around a returning war hero (Hardy) who comes home only to face personal and financial troubles. Requesting his father (Nolte), an alcoholic ex-boxer, to help him train, he starts to fight to stave off his debts.
But when he and his brother (Edgerton) enter the same MMA tournament, they realize that they are destined to face each other in the cage.
Director Gavin O’Connor is no stranger to the sports film genre as he directed the critically acclaimed 2004 hit, “Miracle,” chronicling the gold medal story of the 1980 U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team.
O’Connor was also an executive producer for the 2002 MMA documentary, “The Smashing Machine” that followed the careers of such former greats as Mark Coleman, Bas Rutten and Mark Kerr.
Early reaction to the film has been mostly positive. Alex Billington of Firstshowing.net called an early version of the film “incredible.” He goes on to praise the three leading characters, calling their performances “impeccable” and that “Gavin O'Connor has delivered his best movie to date.”
With a lot of hype surrounding the film, “Warrior” is set to be one of the most highly anticipated films going into the later part of 2011.
“Warrior” is set to be released on September 9
Anthony Johnson, Nate Marquardt, Yves Edwards are also in the movieQuote:

I think they are expecting an Oscar. How can you talk up a movie you've never seen?
It looks good to you, and bad to me, so what.
I will likely see the movie anyway. It's a little overplayed to have the military kid come back
to family problems, with nothing but aggression to get over it. It looks too much like the wrestler,
rocky, and all the overplayed themes for fighting movies. And that's just my opinion, so it doesn't
really mean shit anyway, I haven't seen it.
I love MMA and movies, that is exactly why I'm so skeptical.
anyways hopefully it will help make the sport more popular and who could really argue against that!?!
Just wait for "Never Back Down 2" feat 10th Planet black belt Scott "Einstien" Epstein as the lead villian. Eddie as a DJ/ring announcer and some sick 10th Planet jiu jitsu!!Quote:

I respect your opinion bro, everyone has one lol. Overplayed maybe, but I pretty much feel we ALL came home to family problems and WAY too much aggression to get over.Quote:

Tom Hardy is a badass: Bronson, Inception, Bane in DKR! Gonna be playing Mad Max in the reboot. We'll see.
