But each one is a well-made director,

"Warrior" combines boxing with family affection, and while feeling the affection, it also brings us a blood-boiling boxing feast.
Tommy, who ran away from home 14 years ago, returned to his hometown after a long absence,
Coming back to this place is already human, and the years have passed.
My father was also old, and my father was a boxing coach when he was young.
Grumpy and drunk.
Seeing Tommy again, my father was surprised,
He thought he would never see this son again in his life.
Over the years, he has become a lonely old man with no one to accompany,
He was accompanied only by the Bible and the photographs of the house full of pictures,
In the photo, Tommy and his brother Brandon stand proudly on the championship podium.
Under the strict requirements of my father since childhood,
The brothers won 6 Junior Olympic gold medals,
It was originally a happy family, but because of the father's alcoholism,
The mother and son could not bear the domestic violence, so they ran away from home.
That year, my brother Brandon was 16 years old.
Because reluctant to first love girlfriend chose to stay,
Now my brother and my first girlfriend are married and have two lovely daughters.
And Tommy and his mother, who left home, wandered around and tasted all the bitterness,
Finally Tommy watched her mother die in poverty.
He hated his father's hurt, and he hated his brother's betrayal,
Although my father has changed now, it is too late.
The older brother, Brandon, is a high school physics teacher and earns little with his wife.
The eldest daughter also has congenital heart disease,
In order to come up with high treatment costs, the couple can not make ends meet by working multiple jobs at the same time.
The bank also announced that they would take away their only home in three months' time.
In order to earn more money, Brandon went to play wild boxing at night,
He has a solid foundation in wrestling,
Those amateur boxers were not his opponents at all.
When I got the bonus and came home, my wife was furious.
Looking at her injured husband, she didn't want to live the days of fear she had before,
He couldn't lose his house and treat his daughter, he could only do that.
Because he went out to fight boxing, he was known to the school, and the school gave him the punishment of suspension of salary.
At this time, the "Spartan" mixed martial arts tournament is about to start.
Bonus $5 million!
This is a feast for warriors, but also the ultimate showdown for the strong,
Tommy walked into the boxing gym and saw the poster and was heartbroken,
At this time, the boxing gym's seed player "Mad Dog" was training on the field,
His personality is arrogant and fierce, and all the sparring partners are scared by him
Tommy volunteered to be a sparring partner for the Mad Dog,
The arrogant "mad dog" felt that he was looking for death and insulted him.
The coach had to have Tommy sign a waiver before he could play.
At the beginning, Tommy directly gave him a straight punch for the leg,
The "mad dog" fell to the ground in response,
Then a back-back fall, beating the "mad dog" dizzy,
Finally, he was flattened to shock.
"Mad Dog" is one of the best fighters in the world,
Everyone present was shocked by this unknown man,
As a result, Tommy got the ticket to the competition.
In a bid for $5 million, Tommy finds his father to make him his coach.
But it is not to forgive him, only to talk about training and not to talk about feelings.
Brother Brandon also decided to storm this game,
With this money, there is hope for the daughter's illness and hope for the life of the whole family.
Brandon went to his old partner Frank and asked him to be his sparring partner.
Frank believes that brandon retired for many years at this time, past the golden age of playing games,
And this game is the strongest player, frank worried that he has an accident.
But Brandon was resolute, and Frank had to agree to him.
Like Tommy, Brandon hated his father.
He did not allow his father to come to him, nor did he allow him to see his granddaughter.
The two little girls didn't even know Grandpa existed,
Unmoved by his father's begging for forgiveness, he did not believe that his father could change.
The whole world is paying attention to the "Spartan" Grand Prix,
The hottest player is the Russian fighting champion Koba,
Koba still holds the record for total victories and is known as the world's greatest fighter.
To snatch 5 million from him is tantamount to grabbing food from his household.
Both brothers got tickets to the game,
The game time is approaching, and the brothers tirelessly train before the game every day.
With the foundation laid before, they quickly returned to their best condition,
At the game press conference, Tommy saw that his brother Brandon didn't go up to say hello either.
Tommy's video of "Mad Dog" went viral on the Internet,
A soldier recognizes that Tommy once saved him,
After his mother's death, Tommy joined the Marine Corps.
During a mission, his company was bombed by his own men,
Everyone but Tommy was sacrificed, and Tommy was tired of war,
On the way to escape from the battlefield, he encountered an armored vehicle that fell into the river,
Just when their lives were on the line, Tommy opened the hatch and saved them.
The soldiers disappeared before they could even say thank you.
In the night, Brandon asked Tommy to meet,
Tommy resents his brother for breaking his promise,
Let him suffer with his mother,
Extremely disappointed in him and his father,
Brandon wanted his forgiveness, after all, he was only 16 years old.
Since his mother and brother left, he has also suffered in pain for many years.
He didn't know his mom was sick and didn't even get a chance to see him one last time.
The brothers broke up unhappily, and the relationship became even more rigid.
Atlantic City, New York, sounded the horn of "Sparta",
Boxers, fighting fans and various media come together,
Sixteen warriors competed for $5 million.
Spotlights flickered, and the Colosseum cage stood in the center waiting for the "beast" to enter.
Tommy became the focus of everyone,Everyone didn't know where he came from.
This man is like a mystery, with a mysterious and powerful force.
He doesn't appear in music, doesn't sponsor him, and doesn't give interviews.
As soon as Tommy appeared,
Calmly dodged after a punch KO to the other side,
It shocked all the audience.
A few minutes later, Brandon also ushered in the first game,
Before entering the field, his father gave him a thumbs up and encouraged him to go all out.
Brandon's identity as a physics teacher has become a stunt for everyone to ridicule.
The host even likened him to a small goldfish that had strayed into a shark pool.
His opponent looked down on him and promised to teach this high school teacher a good lesson.
Compared with his opponents, Brandon's height and weight are obviously at a disadvantage.
In the first round, Brandon was directly thrown to the ground,
Originally, the ground fighting technique was brandon's best skill, and he did not expect to be countered by the other side.
He was strangled, his expression was extremely painful, and everyone thought he couldn't hold on,
He gritted his teeth and survived the 20 seconds of life and death.
After a short break,
Brandon fought back in full swing,
Come on a scissor leg,
The opponent fell to the ground in response,
After a tumble, Brandon successfully performed the Kimura Lock Technique to keep his opponent from breaking free, and finally defeated his opponent.
Tommy wants to get the money for his comrade-in-arms' wife,
After this match, Tommy will be sent to court-martial.
In the end, the brothers reached the final, and now they only need to beat each other,
The anger that has been intertwined with love and hate for so many years has turned into fists,
Venting in one punch after another,
Go all out and hit the other person.
This is a blood-boiling film full of male hormones,
It is also one of the few boxing movies that can be called excellent,
Tom Hardy also gave the film a perfect acting skill.
The relationship between father and son in the movie fully illustrates one thing,
As long as there is hatred, there are still expectations.
