An inspirational and exhilarating rollercoaster of a film, Warrior centres around Tommy (Hardy) – an ex marine haunted by a tragic past, who enlists the help of his estranged father (Nick Nolte) to train up for the fight of his life. A former wrestling prodigy, Tommy blazes a path towards SPARTA - the biggest ‘winner takes all’ Mixed Martial Arts event in history. His brother, Brendan (Joel Edgerton), an ex-fighter-turned teacher, also returns to the ring in a desperate bid to save his family from financial ruin. So when Brendan’s unlikely underdog rise sets him on a collision course with the unstoppable Tommy, the two brothers must finally confront each other - and the forces that pulled them apart - in the ultimate face off.Extras:BROTHER VERSUS BROTHER: ANATOMY OF THE FIGHTPHILOSOPHY IN COMBAT: MIXED MARTIAL ARTS STRATEGYSIMPLY BELIEVE - A TRIBUTE TO CHARLES ‘MASK' LEWIS, JR.FEATURE AUDIO COMMENTARY WITH FILMAKERS AND ACTOR JOEL EDGERTONTHE DINER: DELETED SCENE (WITH OPTIONAL COMMENTARY)CHEAP SHOTS: GAG REEL Review: Hated The Fighter; Love WARRIOR! - Make no mistake, Warrior is what I refer to as The Perfect Friday Night Movie: Get a pizza in (preferably thin crust!)wipe your HDTV screen clean, and stick on the blu-ray. For a ridiculously touched-up poster, Warrior didn't have to convince me to see it; the fact Tom Hardy has been referred to as the British Marlon Brando is the reason. With the exception of Christian Bale, I absolutely detest The Fighter: It's riddled with more Irish-American cliches than Far and Away and is oh-so annoying at the best of times. You can understand my trepidation as I awaited for this drama to unfold. As "Tap 'em Out" Tommy Reardon, Tom Hardy is massive. The guy's traps are enormous (he's gigantic!) and given his turbulent performance, one can only wet themselves at the prospect of seeing him kick Batman's ass in The Dark Knight Rises. He spends much of his time brooding,looking mean and makes a great effort with his US accent (which I am assuming is an amalgam of regional US dialects or do the good people of Pittsburgh talk like that?) He makes taking a swig of whiskey seem like an art form and can understand why his character has no sense of ambition any more, which is revealed through a surprise twist, midway. And Mr Hardy is that rare thing since Gary Oldman: He's scary and unpredictable. Tom's dual role not only required a physical transformation, but to convince us he's an MMA fighter (don't worry, I was convinced within 1 minute!)A credit to director Gavin O'Connor, who said Tommy was the only actor who could play the troubled, younger Conlon sibling. This isn't just a film about slugging it out UFC-style; this is a class in heavyweight acting. Tom's scenes with Nick Nolte as his ex-alcoholic father Paddy, are both funny and very moving. If Nolte doesn't get an Oscar nod (and post Oscar hindsight, he did but was robbed), then there's no justice in this world..the old man's still got it and sure he recalled his drunken past for this role of a lifetime. Joel Edgerton is another Aussie who's graduated from the "Time to Fool Everyone with a Convincing American Accent, School of Acting" - as Tom's elder brother, Brendan Conlon. It takes a long time before they meet (think of DeNiro and Pacino in Heat) and when they do, it's intense and explosive stuff. One of the twists is that they fight each other in the ring; how they get there will become apparent as you watch. In what is billed as a man's film, Jennifer Morrison from House is the calming influence as Brendan's missus. She's not just a pretty blonde, she has heart and she's sassy too. I could believe more in her as Tess; than Amy Adams's Oirish barmaid in The Fighter, who, let's face it, was quite the skank! Warrior's' greatest strength is that it takes its time and doesn't overwhelm you and doesn't try to prove anything either. It's great film making and Gavin O'Connor deserves a pint (or three). In much the same way Rocky(1976) was shot on a very low budget, this has that same Everyman approach. In fact, Warrior owes a debt to Rocky in its pre-title credits and the split-screen training montages. The fights are a feast for any UFC fan and kick serious ass. In parts, it's classic Americana: Downbeat and has a lot of charm; on the other, it makes me want to visit Pittsburgh now and to stick Ode to Joy on my iPod! Special nods to the actors who played the students; the always great Kevin Dunn as Principal Zito (you couldn't make it up) and Bryan "The Hangover" Callen as a very funny UFC commentator. And Kurt Angle as a Russian head case! If I have any gripes about Warrior, is that I would've liked to have seen the regimen of training to become an Ultimate Fighting Champion. And more scenes of Jennifer Morrison in her underwear (maybe they'll happen to find some deleted scenes and stick them on the blu-ray). The blu-ray is gorgeous - do yourself the biggest favour and order it from desertcart: I prefer the cover of a lone Tommy with his back to us; than an overpriced high street record store, who uses a different poster and hikes up the price as well. The film looks amazing and the special features are great (nice to see Hardy looking comfortable in an interview as opposed to being interrogated by a second-rate UK chat show host). Since critics have compared Tom to Brando, in which case I'll leave you with his most memorable role as ex prize-fighter, Terry Malloy from On the Waterfront. Yes, I still get the chills re-watching it and yes, I'm sure Hardy drew some inspiration too. An all-time, classic movie moment. [...] Review: Quite simply BRILLIANT - I thought the advertising for the cinematic release of Warrior was slightly off the mark. Making it seem a little too much like a young fight flick, which it most definitely isn't. I think it might also have suffered from being the last of the recent fight genre movies released. This movie, regardless of genre, is quite simply one of the best I have EVER seen. I watched it three times on the roll during a long haul flight and immediately pre-ordered it from desertcart when I landed. Warrior is about two estranged brothers and a family ripped apart by a violently driven alcoholic father who was once a fighting instructor. When the oldest brother finds the cost of saving his daughter from heart disease, is the mortgage on his house, he is forced to return to fighting to make ends meet. Always a greater technician over a great fighter, he now has something worth fighting for, his family. This is contrasted against Tommy, the young brother and prodigal son. A deserter from the army after his platoon were all killed in a friendly fire incident, he is fighting only to raise money for the families of the dead soldiers. As the UFC competition plays out in front of the media, it is these two very personal battles, that drives this emotionally intense and very violent story to its conclusion. The quality starts with the script, it's incredibly well put together, managing the fine mix of violence and drama. This is backed-up by great acting throughout. Some of the key characters do not have a lot of screen time but bring such depth to the character you get them more from who they are over what they say. Tom Hardy combines raw physical intensity with real depth of character, and for me, as great and brutal as his fighting was, the scenes between him and his father and brother were riveting. Joel Edgerton for me though was the star. The underdog that will not give in because doing so will lose his family the roof over their heads. The climax is incredible because come the end, there is no favourite. How it is done is quite brilliant and sends chills down my spine just thinking about it. Quite simply, Warrior is one of the best movies I have ever watched at any level. I can't recommend it highly enough. I hope this review was helpful. ## Images ![Warrior - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DwdT5EyCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hated The Fighter; Love WARRIOR! *by J***G on 4 March 2012* Make no mistake, Warrior is what I refer to as The Perfect Friday Night Movie: Get a pizza in (preferably thin crust!)wipe your HDTV screen clean, and stick on the blu-ray.

A film that could so easily have followed the clichéd pattern of so many sports melodramas (particularly the boxing genre) this one manages to add a few twists that carries it above the expected norm. There are fine performances from Hardy and Edgerton as the brothers – one a teacher returning to fighting due to financial difficulty, the other an ex-soldier honouring a promise. The third factor is provided by Nolte, who puts in a very well measured, understated performance as their recovering alcoholic father. What makes the story work so well is in the balance of sympathy the plot gradually builds for each character; In my opinion it is inevitably difficult to take sides, as details of each character`s past and present situations are revealed and as the pair find themselves in the same tournament culminating in their ultimate confrontation. Aside from being a well-scripted piece, the camera-work and editing of the exciting fight scenes - particularly the spectacle of the tournament - is dynamic and effective, making for brutal, but compelling viewing. An emotional and rousing sports movie, well considered and compulsively entertaining. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/48548520-warrior](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/48548520-warrior) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
