Reviews


100
Empire - Dan Jolin
It hardly rewrites the rulebook, but Warrior is a powerful, moving and brilliant sports-pic-cum-family drama. Like "The Fighter," but with kicking.
90
The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
It's a long movie that feels short: It grabs you in early scenes, intense though low-key before all hell breaks loose, then keeps you riveted to its mostly male characters.
88
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
O'Connor gives the film a dark, moody look, which is the best choice for so many roiling emotions. This is not a traditional stand-up-and-cheer fight movie; the undercurrents are too strong and deep.
80
Variety - Joe Leydon
An improbably effective and affecting mix of raw emotions and exciting smackdowns.
80
Boxoffice Magazine - Unnamed
Though Warrior excels at the big stuff-fighting sequences and rousing crowds and victories that all but force audiences to stand up and cheer - the film is at its very best in the small moments, the little looks.
