Warrior

Men get angsty and beat each other up - learn life lessons.


Nominated for:
Best supporting actor - Nick Nolte

All in all, this little film is not a bad entry for the Academy's "Film Where Men Fight Each Other In A Ring" category. This year, the sport-du-jour is Mixed Martial Arts, and fans of the competition will definitely enjoy the movie, despite all the angst.

There isn't a whole lot to say - the film delivers exactly what it promises and doesn't fall into too much melodrama. Plus, the filmmakers bookended the movie with two songs by The National, which is a pretty sure way to win over this screeching harpy.
