Warrior PG 13
Gavin O'Conner helms this Rocky
meets the MMA flick with some of Bull Durham tossed in, and old Nick Notle
hoping for an Oscar nod. The show runner is actually Notle, while the two
brothers carrying on emotionally strapped about the death of their mother, and
their old feud, seems predictable. Cameos by actual fighters are neat if you
know who they are, but this reviewer did not, so when the audience would go,
ooh, he can't own that guy, it was lost on me. The action sequences were choppy
but fairly similar to what can be seen on the cable channels. The acting of the
two male supporting cast was fair, but it was hard to tell which brother what
which during some darker scenes, where they displayed the same kind of
disconnect or yelled a lot at their Dad on the beach, or in front of a house.
Not a bad dramatic movie but it's clear Nolte is the star. Not sure it's Oscar
worthy. But neither was The Blind Side. Review by Adam Browne
