I got the opportunity to screen a new sports movie this week called "Warrior" and I really liked it. Although it isn't a "Christian" movie, it reminded me a lot of a modern day Prodigal Son. It was emotional, dramatic, action packed, intense, and the best thing I liked about it was that it felt real. It was a great movie about the power of forgiveness.
I am not a big Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fan but this movie is one that everyone should see so don't leave the women at home. I saw men and women alike wiping eyes when the lights came on and I thought Nick Nolte was absolutely phenomenal.
Warrior comes out on Sept. 9th and I recommend it with two thumbs up.
After I watched Warrior it made me think about my favorite sports movies. Below are my top 10 sports movies. It would be interesting to hear other opinions on this.
