Lionsgate UK have sent us this new Musical TV Spot/Trailer forย WARRIOR. Starring BAFTA Award winnerย Tom Hardy, two-time Oscar nomineeย Nick Nolteย andย Joel Edgertonย (Animal Kingdom), this new action/drama set in the brutal, high-stakes world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighting hits UK cinemas onย September 23rd..

ย An ex-Marine haunted by a tragic past, Tommy Riordan (Hardy) returns to his hometown of Pittsburgh and enlists his father (Nick Nolte), 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 (Edgerton), 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.

ย But when Brendanโ€™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.

Minus the sporting theme Warrior certainly looks like a drama similar lines to David O.Russell’s The Fighter, so they’ll be enough plot to interest cinephiles who have interest in the sport or have concerns this movie is purely sports only based. The movie’s promotion has been fairly low key ย which is sometimes seen as a sign of a bad movie however the movie is already out in USA and the reviews coming from Stateside are very good with the movie averaging a 4/5!
