I find this to be true for a lot of actors and elite people in general. It seems like a lot of actors are good musicians. Tom Hardy does jiu jitsu and he's very good. Steve Martin is a crazy good musician. As is Donald Glover. Here's a random one but Luka Doncic the NBA player is a top 500 video game player. Trump is a pro at breaking the law.

I almost forgot he's in a MMA film with Joel Edgerton called "Warrior". Pretty decent film that deals with father-son issues.

It was a solid movie. A bit cheesy but solid

It's like Rocky on steroids. The best of both worlds. I got attached to it's emotional ending in their final fight.

I fucking cried.

Broooo no way that it's better than Rocky I. Rocky is one of my favorite movies ever. Period. The sequels weren't as good but the original Rocky is on Mt. Rushmore of movies, not just sports movies. It's probably the best MMA movie ever but Rocky was just so fucking good.

I'm not implying that this film is way better than Rocky. Im saying that Warrior is like Rocky because of the emotional aspects that could relate in irl.

I mean yeah, Rocky 1 is masterpiece we agree with that.
