CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Brendan (Joel Edgerton) confronts Tommy (Tom Hardy) about their past.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Two estranged brothers and Mixed Martial Arts fighters confront the forces that tore their family apart as they prepare to do battle in the ring in this drama from director Gavin O'Connor (Pride and Glory). Tommy Conlon (Tom Hardy) is an ex-Marine from Pittsburgh who's never quite shaken his troubled past. Upon learning that the purse in an upcoming MMA tournament is the largest in the league's history, Tommy recruits his father, Paddy (Nick Nolte), a former coach and recovering alcoholic, to whip him into shape in time for the competition. Meanwhile, as Tommy steadily ascends the ranks by defeating one powerful opponent after another, his brother, Brendan, struggles to provide for his family with his job as a public school teacher. A former MMA fighter with a devastating punch, Brendan begins to wonder if he, too, could have a shot at winning the coveted purse. In time, Brendan and Tommy both emerge as dark horse contenders in the competition, setting the two brothers on a brutal collision course. But Tommy and Brendan's biggest battle won't be fought in the ring -- it will be fought in their hearts and minds.

HIT US UP:

[KDytb]

"Mom needed you.I needed you. You were my big brother and you bailed on me."
That's all.

[DravenField]

Both are wrong yet both are right. Such realistic writing.

[chrishandsome]

Man this movie is so underrated. One of the best fighting movies ever

[Shipwreckl]

One of the most underrated films, this movie made me cry!

[fuzzface]

Τom Hardy's acting in this movie is insane. His whole hunched body language expressing emotional trauma ...

[Ryan-ztxw]

Joel Edgerton is a great actor. Never seen a bad performance from him

[deadpool]

Tommy felt betrayed by his brother since he looked up to him. He wanted his brother by his side, but he chose a girl over his family. That’s what Brendan failed to see in this scene.

[Folk-rock]

Forgiveness isn't always so light hearted and butterfly's and roses.

[paatao]

"Calm down Brendan now is not the time for fear. That comes later!"

[WhiteMagicHQ]

"i never got the chance to say goodbye to my own mother"
That hits hard for me.

[vesicaful]

You know what the best part about knowing you can hold your own in a fight. Realising you don't have to fight in the first place.

[jacobperkins]

What’s interesting is that we know Tommy does, in fact, drink coffee; we see him do so in the diner, and we hear him imply it when scolding Paddy for waking him up. Him rebuffing Brendan’s coffee request was, I think, an opportunity that he saw to act dismissive, which is what pissed off people often do - acting like you don’t care is much easier than admitting that you were hurt (as would be the case if he acted outright angry). Very subtle. Fantastic writing.

[davidletriz]

Some times wounds are so deep that it takes allot of time to heal. The scars will always be with you but forgiveness helps clean the soul.

[RainingBuckets]

People can relate to this movie in one way or another! Great movie

[jpaokx]

"Your punishment must be more severe...."

[BornbeSPRA]

The subtle things about their dynamic. Tommy couldn’t look Brenden in the eye when he’s getting yelled at like a little brother. Brenden sucking his lip in anger like his dad

[richmuscle]

Tom hardy is one of my favorite actors! Hands down

[lebarosky]

What made this movie special was its examination of alcoholism and its effects on a family. This sort of conflict, and this sort of long term resentment toward parents, between children, is dealt with every day by people in recovery. Alcoholism is a terrible disease and if society invests in its treatment, many lives would be saved.

[devieeboiitaylor]

When he said he forgave him and his mom that right there deserved a punch to the face
He made it seemed like him and his mother chose to just up and leave one day when it was their dad tht drove them out
Not to mention while Brendan claimed to have suffered but at least he had his wife
Tommy endured it all by himself

[johns.]

The fact that he tells his brother who he abandoned "everything i do is for my family" is another level of irony. When Tommy calls him out as a bullshitter for talking about "forgiving everyone" it really makes you think about what he's saying versus his actions and all the years he could have tried to repair the damaged relationships. The first time I watched this movie I was rooting for Tommy but thought Brendan was most "in the right", but after a few more watches I started to notice how this movie really strays from the norm by giving multiple characters to root for as well as getting away from a black and white protagonist/antagonist storyline. It is a lot more accurate to real life in how the writers are just giving us a glimpse into the lives of a broken family rather than telling a story filled with classic tropes found in fighting and sports movies. One of the main reasons the story impacts so many people is likely the way it allows for the audience to draw their own conclusions about the characters as well as the events that they go through. In life, everyone has their reasons for doing things that may even negatively impact others around them, which is something we see in all the main characters of this film. It brings very human elements to a genre that is often met with one dimensional tropes that frame the characters in only a positive or negative light.
