Not sure if this should have been posted in the entertainment section or MMA, but I am assuming a mod or admin can move it. I also did not bother looking to see if a thread such as this existed already.

Warrior​

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.

Releases this Friday. Looks like an interesting movie and I am always interested in sports films with this sort of angle. Anyone going to see it? Any comments about the film?

Well, I've already seen it, and I have to say I thought it was amazing. Got to see it Yesterday at my Local theater. Was free too. We get a lot of movies now about a week before they get released. I got to see Harry Potter, and Transformers 3 early as well.

I was really looking forward to it, and it didn't disappoint. The story was very very good, and kind of touching in some points. Anyways, I would rank it easily in top 10 movies of the year so far.

I recommend anyone interested to go see it.

Yea it looks really good, and nice to see a positive review so far. Being a MMA fan it's nice to see them get some exposure with a major release in theaters, probably check it out this weekend.
