#Warrior soundtrack brendan and tommy movie

The scenes between Tommy and his father are good when they're yelling, but the resolution could have been stronger. In fact, the cast is better than the script. Nolte is also good as the repentant father trying to reconnect with his sons after years of abuse. Hardy as Tommy is a barely contained volcano of anger who explodes in the fighting cage. Joel Edgerton does a good job as Brendan and Tom Hardy, who bulked up considerably for this part, is also good.

The cast is a big reason this movie works. You could also certainly draw some comparisons between this movie and The Fighter, although to single just that movie out would be unfair because you could also draw comparisons to several other fighter movies. Having them both is almost too much and having it be the two of them who meet in the finale does come across as a coincidence. Tommy's is more melodramatic and he's less of an underdog, so I prefer Brendan's who is fighting for the simple cause of providing for his family. Inevitably and as shown in the previews, the two meet in the final round of the tournament, but who will be the winner?Д®ither of the brother's stories could have been a movie on its own.

Brendan is trained by a friend who teaches him control and finesse while Tommy returns to his estranged father for training and is more like an unstoppable tank. Tommy is doing it because he promised a marine buddy who died in Iraq that he would look after his family if something happened to them. Brendan is upside down on his mortgage and is going to lose his house if he doesn't raise money fast. When their parents split up because their father (Nolte) was an abusive drunk, Tommy went with their mother to Tacoma, Washington while Brendan stayed in Pennsylvania because he was in love with his high-school sweetheart, who later became his wife.Д«oth brothers enter an MMA/UFC tournament because they need money for different reasons. The two brothers haven't' seen each other in years. Tommy is an ex-marine and a high-school wrestling champion with a murky past. He was never that successful and he gave it up in favor of a safer method of supporting his family. Brendan is a high-school physics teacher and family man who used to be a Mixed Martial Arts fighter. It tells the story of two brothers in Pennsylvania. Thanks to some strong performances and some well filmed fight scenes though, it manages to overcome most of its weaknesses and delivers some solid entertainment. With its been there, done that underdog fighter plot, its reliance on a strong coincidence for the finale and its dangerously high sap levels, Warrior shouldn't be as good as it is.
