TKO: The 21st Century Gets its “Rocky”
Magnificent. The 21st century version of "Rocky" and "Raging Bull" rolled into one, "Warrior" is as solid as Tom Hardy's tensed ab muscles.

Tthis hackneyed and wearisome melodrama that wastes a star turn from its lithe, lethal leading lady. She deserves better, and she’s not alone. It goes without saying that the viewer deserves better, too.
