I wasn't expecting much walking into this but I could not have been more wrong in my expectations. While it may look cliche and predictable, Warrior holds its own as an original film. Gavin O' Connor's previous films (Miracle, Pride and Glory) bordered mediocrity, but he truly crafted something special with this movie. You would do yourself a huge favor by not missing out on this one. It really has something for the whole family to enjoy.
