A Warrior's Heart (2011)

Touches You

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

This review is quite late but since I did happen to like the movie, I am reviewing this. Basically the story is about a cocky lacrosse player who lost his dad due to an accident while serving for the navy. Since then, Conner (played by Kellen lutz) sort of rebelled and decided to go lone wolf. He moved from his home town to a new one (One I forgot the name of) and joined the lacrosse team. He was disappointed to learn though that the couch of his new school's team did in fact value team sportsmanship, something Conner did not have. Conner has a few breakdowns, breaks the school's trophy case, and gets suspended from school and kicked off the lacrosse team. From there, he gets help from a friend of his father who teaches Conner sportsmanship and team leading through tedious labor. Conner learns the history of lacrosse as well.Although the movie is enjoyable and somewhat informational (lacrosse was portrayed somewhat wrong in the movie then how it is in real life), it is very predictable for lacrosse fans and oplayers. During the middle, the movie gets boring with all the scenes of Conner finding himself and whatnot. Towards the end though, it does get more enjoyable with the ending game scene that was pretty cool to see. When I say predictable, I mean that in the sense that people who know a lot about lacrosse will most likely figure out how Conner gets back on the team and what would happen in the game scene during the end of the movie. The checking/slashing in the movie was pretty spot on, although the moves made in the movie were a lot less practiced and were made with a lot less precision then a skilled lacrosse player in real life.Overall, I gave those movie 5/10 stars because like I said, it was enjoyable but very predictable and eventually boring for me. Hope that helped for anyone wondering about the movie, even in 2018

Hmmmm. Well I love Lacrosse so that was my only reason for not turning it off after 10mins. And this is the only lax film out at the moment unfortunately.Just very cliché and unfortunate plot. hard to tell how bad the acting is due to the terrible screenplay. This film has almost no worth. The depiction of lacrosse was way off. I don't even think that adaptive purposes for film could pass as an excuse. They're all scrubs. there is hitting/checking in lacrosse but its far more skilled and brutal than the bs in this. I don't really know what else to say. This is basically a film designed for twilight fans with a bit of lacrosse riding on the side, and I struggle to even call it lacrosse. This movie feels like it was made by a bunch of high school kids with some fancy equipment. Its not even really funny bad... just badI'll be waiting for crooked arrows, can't be worse than this.

The movie should have come with the warning sign,or may be it was there with the starting lines "this is the story of the guy I fell for",common!!! I should have kept off when I saw the twilight cast was there and of course lacrosse you could identify the importance of the game with the crowd gathered to watch it throughout the film.Story was bad and dialog's cliché.It was an amateur attempt to create a sports flick which I believe to be intriguing by itself with all the energy available. A lot seem to be out of place the story,direction,acting and the small budget clearly showed.Overall I think the movie failed cause I wasn't interested in the game before and now I'm pretty sure I'll never try.

"It's funny what you notice the first time you see someone, confidence, a nice smile, a little connection. What you don't see, what's impossible to know at first glance is everything else. At least everything that counts." Conor Sullivan (Lutz) is the best Lacross player on his team. The only problem is he is cocky and not a team player. When his dad is transfered across the country Conor has to start all over to make the team and prove that he is a team player. This movie is not terrible, but very cheesy and extremely predictable. Much like the recent faith-based movies all the problems in this movie seemed to be solved way to easy. To me a movie without a real push back against the lead actor seems boring and too cookie cutter like. While I can't really say anything bad about this movie because I did like it, I can't really say anything really good about it either because ten minutes in I could tell how it would end. That makes a movie boring to me. Overall, not a bad movie and if you like this kind of thing you will really enjoy it. I give it a B-.
