Warrior

Warrior (2011) is Gavin O'Connor's sports drama you can watch online on iFILM. Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton play estranged brothers who end up across the cage from each other in a mixed martial arts tournament.

Tommy comes home a broken ex-Marine and asks his recovering alcoholic father (Nick Nolte) to train him one more time. Brendan teaches high-school physics and fights to keep the bank from taking his house and pay for his sick daughter's care. When both reach Sparta, a winner-take-all MMA event with a five-million-dollar purse, the bout stops being about sport. It becomes a settling of accounts for a childhood neither man got over: the divorce, the drinking, the years of silence.

O'Connor shoots the fights like an argument the family never finished. Nolte earned an Oscar nomination as the guilt-ridden father, and the final round is still cited among the best-staged fights ever put on film. Stream Warrior (2011) online on iFILM.
