I've seen it many times before, but I just finished up Warrior with my son...he's in Krava Maga, so I need to show him something to aspire to

And Nick Nolte absolutely crushed it as the old man. Unredeemed, flawed, and entirely believable as a bitter old father and husband. He's got a very limited ability to help his sons, but he's striving for it. And he kinda makes hte best part of the movie for me.

Dude was nails in this performance. So much so that I can't imagine anyone else in this role at all.

You got any other surprisingly great performances? Maybe an unsung role where they were the perfect addition to the cast?
