You only have a few days left to catch up on hard-hitting MMA drama Warrior, starring Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton as two estranged brothers who end up confronting each other in the ring.
The film from director and co-writer Gavin O'Connor is set to leave Netflix on 14 April. While there is no word as to whether the streamer will add it to its catalogue in the future, Warrior remains available to watch for free with ads on Rakuten TV and YouTube.
Released in 2011, the film sees Hardy and Edgerton star as Tommy and Brendan Conlon, two brothers whose resentment for one another reaches a head when they separately enter the same MMA tournament.
The movie's stacked cast also features Nick Nolte, who earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for the role of Tommy and Brendan's father, Paddy, and Jennifer Morrison as Brendan's wife, Tess.
Frank Grillo and Bryan Callen appear in supporting roles, with real MMA fighters, including Nate Marquardt, Anthony Johnson, and Roan Carneiro, also starring.
Warrior has a critics' score of 84% on Rotten Tomatoes, where it holds a Certified Fresh badge out of 191 reviews. Meanwhile, users also gave it the thumb up, as the film currently has an approval rating of 92% out of 50,000 fans' reviews.
