This trailer took me completely by surprise. Starring Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton Warrior sees two brothers, a physics professor and an ex soldier train to become middleweight mixed martial arts fighters in the same tournament. Sounds a little far fetched? Click on the trailer to be impressed.
Tom Hardy really has come a long way since Star Trek. I know that wasn't his first role but it was the first I noticed him in. He's finding a range and skill that I wouldn't have thought so strong after watching his first appearance. The rest of the cast look excellent too and going for a mid level fame quota definitely works with this sort of film. It's directed by Gain O'Connor, who previously wrote and directed Edward Norton and Colin Farrel in Pride and Glory. Hopefully the film will deliver as much as the trailer promises.
