Jeffrey Wells raves about [WARIR], which is not his usual cup of tea. Antibody Aug 02, 16:17

when was this movie made? on the page, opening sequence of Philly skyline is at least 4 years old... there is a Comcast tower today, Oleg Max Aug 02, 16:27

p.s. Comcast tower is not in that opening sequence shot... just to clarify. {nm} Oleg Max Aug 02, 16:28

It could be stock footage or it's a period piece set right after the height of the war in Iraq/Afghanistan. {nm} Antibody Aug 02, 16:40

i suppose period peice might work. Philly's skyline has been pretty much the same since 1992-1993, until 2007-2008 depending on the angle Oleg Max Aug 02, 18:25

I've seen the trailer and felt like I've seen the movie now too. Sports movies are all the same basic story. {nm} HarryWarden Aug 02, 16:35

there's more here than that. i could be wrong, but it feels emotional and looks intense. {nm} lobogotti Aug 02, 16:36

Is it UFC fighting? {nm} HarryWarden Aug 02, 16:37

MMA (if there's a difference). I'm not a fan of the sport at all, but both actors are high on my list. Hardy is getting major recognition lobogotti Aug 02, 17:11

In response to "if there's a difference" MMA is the actual sport and UFC is an organization. NFL is to football as UFC is to MMA. :) {nm} Nightfury82 Aug 02, 17:50

precisely ;) my buddies are HUGE fans of it...I just never got into it. {nm} lobogotti Aug 02, 18:31

You haven't seen this movie. It's not just another sports movie. {nm} Serenity Sep 04, 22:57

me and notfab had a little thread about this last week. people are going to be surprised by this one. {nm} lobogotti Aug 02, 16:35

It's as good as he says. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 02, 19:45

would you say one of the better films so far this year? lobogotti Aug 02, 19:49

sounds like notfabio was right and it will be Oscar candidate. Been a weak yr for contenders so far...and despite Alvin 3 coming out...not GMov Aug 02, 20:33

random point, but I'm guessing Bridesmaids gets a nomination...due to the expanded to 10 format {nm} GMov Aug 02, 20:34

Saw it tonight and I think it is one of the best movies I have ever seen. {nm} Serenity Sep 04, 22:58
