Films/DVD Asylum

One of the best fight films I've seen: Warrior.

Mixed martial arts; Joel Edgerton (an Ozzie), Tom Hardy, and Nick Nolte.
The same tournament formula, but some of the best fight footage in flicks. These guys are terrific actors, the story is a cut above the typical superhero genre, and Nolte's performance stands out. The man gives a great performance.

Edgerton and Hardy are still a little below the radar, but coming up strong IMO.

This was out several years back; saw it on cable. Well worth seeking out. The story is as intense as the fighting.

Saw Hardy in a film after this one and . . . - mr grits 20:50:18 05/18/12 (1)
He had apparently "untrained" from his massive build up. The guy was an animal for this film. Scary enough just catching a glimpse.

I applaud it for not being sappy and putting the twist on the end. Based on actual events? Hmmm.
- The dude looked like a monster in this film. - free.ranger 21:01:44 05/18/12 (0)
  Muscles on muscles. The hits looked like they would stop a train. And that fat upper lips must have been enhanced for this flick; maybe actually a sparring souvenir? Don't know. Probably al due to steroid/collagen cocktails, but who knows?
  
  Definitely a movie that stays longer. I liked the story line just as much. Nolte never looked more pathetic in his life (acted, I think).
