In Warrior AJ plays a middleweight. There's a reason for that.

As did Kurt Angle. (Saw it tonight. I thought it was pretty good.)

Extended thoughts?

And I have no idea what Angle really weighs . . . not that I have looked into it much. He doesn't look huge, though.

I think Angle was always a HW. He looked big to me, but maybe that was the point -- to have someone who looked like a monster in there.

Anyway, it was definitely the best "MMA" movie I've seen. It was just generally done very well overall, a good character movie. Ultimately, a lot of the implausibility did weigh on me. Most sports drama movies only ask you to believe in one crazy underdog making it to the top, this one asked the audience to believe in two. And of course, all the other unlikely MMA details... Still, those things didn't totally ruin it for me, unlike (say) Redbelt.

Redbelt was a travesty. I was so excited about that movie... and then...

I think Angle wrestled 220 in the olympics. Not 100% but he is a big man.

Word.

I thought it was good overall. I enjoyed it and thought it was a "good" movie -- well acted, well written, well made. Yes, there was some implausibility in the story, but for the most part I was happily along for the ride and well invested.

The critics also liked it:

Warrior Reviews

http://www.metacritic.com/movie/warrior

An ex-Marine haunted by a tragic past, Tommy Riordan returns to his hometown of Pittsburgh and enlists his father, a recovered alcoholic and his former coach, to train him for an MMA tournament awarding the biggest purse in the history of the sport. As Tommy blazes a violent path towards the title prize, his brother, Brendan, a former MMA fighter unable to make ends meet as a public school teacher, returns to the amateur ring to provide for his family. Even though years have passed, recriminations and past betrayals keep Brendan bitterly estranged from both Tommy and his father. But when Brendan's unlikely rise as an underdog sets him on a collision course with Tommy, the two brothers must finally confront the forces that tore them apart, all the while waging the most intense, winner-takes-all battle of their lives. (Lionsgate)

As for Redbelt, I agree that it was disappointing, but I didn't hate it. The tying-the-arm-up thing was really the worst part about it. That was mega-gay. But other than that, it was a decent Mamet film.

There was an interview with Angle...apparently they based his character off of Fedor.

Anybody leaning Wiman in this fight?

**SPX** · 09-21-2011, 11:45 AM

I'm saying: Obviously it was based on fucking Fedor.

Invincible Russian Sambo champ who is widely regarded as the P4P best?

C'mon. . .
