WARRIOR

Take a look at Tom Hardy (Inception) and Joel Edgerton (Animal Kingdom): brothers who join a mixed martial arts tournament for different reasons. Tom (Hardy) is a returned Marine, while Brendan (Edgerton) is a physics teacher looking for some extra cash--which will hopefully go towards buying his sexy wife (Jennifer Morrison) some more lingerie.

Lacking complete common sense, Tom hires his alcoholic father, played by Nick Nolte to train him. How this could possibly work out, I have no idea, but since the trailer basically maps the entire film out for us, it apparently turns out nicely for both siblings.



Hardy, as everyone knows, is quite awesome. Edgerton's been a bit player for years, but this role and the sequel to The Thing later this year should put him on more people's radars.
