I didn't see it but my friend said to me there are many cameramen appear during the fighting inside the ring. <br />Great review.

It's not a sport I would ever watch, but seeing it portrayed here, I really got involved. Glad to hear you saw it. Not many did in the States.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-47699907328943904792011-10-22T13:38:37.932+11:002011-10-22T13:38:37.932+11:00Really glad that you liked this one too.

I hope that's not the case here! Thanks for reading and commenting :-) <br /><br />@ Dan - Thanks Dan. I really liked the way it ended; it didn't add any unnecessary final sequences. We knew what the stakes were and what the result meant to both of the brothers, and the fact that their stories had been well built throughout the film meant that we were torn on who to support. Great performances kept the characters compelling and involving, too!Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-60480916756925131762011-10-22T00:52:16.478+11:002011-10-22T00:52:16.478+11:00The ending was pretty lovey dovey but it still wor...The ending was pretty lovey dovey but it still worked because these characters were so rich in detail, and how Edgerton, Hardy, and Nolte all portrayed them as well made it even better to watch them on screen.

I haven't read any other Australian reviews yet, but I think it impressed a lot of people at the premiere. Yeah, I think he deserves close consideration - though the box office draw could hurt him (but I don't think that should be a consequence).Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-67371784227601621332011-10-21T01:30:56.678+11:002011-10-21T01:30:56.678+11:00Great review of an extremely hidden yet powerful f...Great review of an extremely hidden yet powerful film. I don’t know about there, but here in the States, Warrior came and went in theaters far too quickly. It isn’t getting the credit it deserves. <br /><br />“It is evident that there is still something left in the tank,” that’s damn right; it’d be so cool to see Nolte land a nom!Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.com
