8. Warrior
A stand-up-and-cheer sports drama culled from the formula of Stallone's first two Rocky movies, Warrior pits blue-collar brothers Joel Edgerton and Tom Hardy against their own personal demons, many of which are triggered by the presence of their deadbeat father (Nick Nolte, fantastic in a memorable role). Director Gavin O'Connor pays less attention to the intricacies of mixed martial arts than he does to the flawed men stepping into the ring, resulting in a drama our critic called "an emotional experience, despite how familiar most of it is."
