Warrior

One may suggest that Warrior is merely another cliched fighting movie. However Rex Reed thought otherwise when he wrote his review on September 7, 2011 in the New York Observer. His review mainly consists of claim of value, since the article is based on his judgement of approval towards this movie. Reed applauds the director of this film, Gavin O'Connor, for his "direction and pungent screenplay." Reed seems to believe that nowadays all a man needs to have to land a movie is " a gym membership that twists and tortures a normal physique into that of Conan the Barbarian." However he explained how the roles for the movie were given to the absolute proper actors, Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton, "the two meatheads who can really act."
Throughout the review article, one can immediately recognize the passion that Reed applies into his words for this movie. He states, "Skillfully made and adrenalin-fueled, Warrior is nothing like what I expected--leaves you thoroughly sated, energized and wanting more." His beliefs and views on the movie as a whole is considered to be claim of value, because it is arguable, since it is Reed's own expression of taste and preference. What may seem like "an excitng, well-made testosterone explosion called Warrior," may strike one as being simply another boxing and martial arts cliche. Rex Reed surely did not fail to attract to the minds of people searching for a thorough and remarkably written review for Warrior.
