Hardy noEdgerton. (UChuck Zlotnick) Kubonakala ngathi konke okudingayo ukuze ufike kumdlalo bhanyabhanya kwezi ntsuku bubulungu bokuzivocavoca obujija kwaye buhlukumeze umzimba oqhelekileyo ube nguConan the Barbarian, onepakethi ezintandathu, isinqe esine-intshi ezingama-28 kunye noblique ubukhulu behubcaps. Isiphumo sihlala siba ngumthwalo we-junk ezimbini ezibiniweyo uqhushumbo lwe testosterone olwenziwe mnandi olubizwa ngokuba Umkhosi yinto enqabileyo. UMlawuli uGavin O'Connor uyazi indlela yakhe ejikeleze ibala lezemidlalo, kwaye uTom Hardy noJoel Edgerton zii-meatheads ezimbini ezinokuthi zenze ngokwenene.
Ukudlala abantakwethu ababini abakhuphisanayo ngokuchasene nesipaji esinye kwindawo yemidlalo exutywe nobugcisa bemfazwe eAtlantic City emva kokuhlala bodwa iminyaka eli-14, babolekisa charisma kunye nokulinganisela kwisiqwenga somdlalo webhanyabhanya wokulwa onokuthi uqikelele. igunya, ewe, ubuntununtunu, ukuba zingangqineki, nkqu nakubaphulaphuli abaqhelene nolu hlobo lwezinto. Umnumzana Hardy, owenza umbono kwinto engenakuqondakala Ukuqala , udlala uTommy Conlon, umninawa omncinci, owayesakuba ngumlingani we-wrestling obuyela ePennsylvania esuka e-Iraq ekwimeko engazinzanga-ulwandle olunomsindo nolusela nzima olwaluzuze njengelifa ubundlobongela bukayise ongafunekiyo (uNick Nolte, ebeka iintsalela ezonakalisiweyo zakhe kanye- ubuso obusebenzisekayo) owayesakuba ngumqeqeshi wakhe ngaphambi kokuba atyhefe usapho aze ahlukane noonyana bakhe bobabini. UJoel Edgerton, i-hunk yase-Australia eyafumana uhlalutyo oluvela kubagxeki baseNew York bedlala uStanley Kowalski ejongene noCate Blanchett kwimveliso eyaziwayo yonyaka ophelileyo. Isithuthi esinegama lesitrato , NguBrendan Reardon, ubhuti omdala owathatha ifani kanina. Ngoku ungumqeqeshi wamanqindi othathe umhlala-phantsi-ohloniphekileyo ongumfundisi-ntsapho wasePhiladelphia onenkosikazi kunye nabantwana ababini, intombi enengxaki yesiphene sentliziyo, ukungabikho kwemali mboleko, ibhodi yesikolo emnqumamisa ngaphandle kwentlawulo yokubuyela eringini, kunye neengxaki zemali ezingapheliyo. Iidemon zikaTommy ezingathintelekiyo (waya kwi-AWOL emva komlilo onobuhlobo owabulala umhlobo wakhe osenyongweni) kunye nesidingo sikaBrendan sokusindisa usapho lwakhe kwintlekele yezemali kukhokelela kubazalwana ukuba bakhuphisane kwitumente yeSparta, iSuper Bowl yokuphumelela-konke-konke ukulwa kunye nesihlanu- Isigidi seedola. Abachasi babo baquka abaphumelele iimbasa zegolide zeOlimpiki kunye neentshatsheli ezingoyiswanga kwihlabathi liphela, ngenxa yoko amathuba okuba nxamnye nawo ayamangalisa, kodwa kukho umntu ophumeleleyo kuphela, kwaye isiphumo asothusi. Phakathi kwe-brawn kunye namathambo aphukileyo, ifilimu yakha isimilo phakathi kwabazalwana abafuna uxolelwaniso, utata ofuna ukukhululwa, kunye nelifa losapho elaphukileyo elinqwenela ukomelela ngokudibana.
Lo mmandla ukhe wahanjwa ngaphambili kuyo yonke into usuka Intshatsheli kwaye Ukuseta ukuya Iliwa kwaye Indoda yaseCinderella , kodwa kwicala likaGavin O'Connor kunye nomdlalo obukekayo we-melodramatics iyadityaniswa, isantya kunye nexesha alize lihambe kancinci, kwaye isenzo esikhulu sokulwa ehokweni siqulathe ezinye zezona ndlela zilungileyo zokulwa endikhe ndazibona. Umlo wokugqibela wegazi phakathi kwabazalwana awunangxaki kubonakala ngathi wenzeka ngexesha lokwenyani, kwaye ikhamera ejikelezayo yinxalenye yomjikelo wokugqibela njengomlindi womlomo okanye inqindi lomvundla. Ndachukunyiswa bubuchwephesha bobuchwephesha, kodwa ndaye ndafumanisa ezinye zeendlela zokubonisa ishishini ekufuneka ndiziphawule: I-Tommy swaggers ngobundlongondlongo ngehlokondiba ukuya kwiingoma ezinkulu kunye nemincili yiyara yaselwandle, ngelixa uBrendan engena kumsesane kwi-Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Rhoqo abadlali ababini baye banyamezela isohlwayo esiqatha esikrinini, kwaye bayakwazi ukuba ngabantu bokwenyani nabanemilinganiselo emithathu abangaphezulu kokubetha iingxowa. Yenziwe ngobuchule kunye ne-adrenalin, Umkhosi ayikho into efana nale bendiyilindele. Iyawoyisa umdlalo wamanqindi ongenakukubaleka kunye nobugcisa bemfazwe kwaye kukushiya uhluthi, unamandla kwaye ufuna okungakumbi.
