Review of The Warrior's Way (2010) by Rebecca G — 13 Jul 2011
This is kind of a "cowboy vs. samurai" movie. Pretty campy effects and humor, but it works in this type of a movie. Never takes itself too serious, but because of that it drags some in the middle, and it runs too long at 100 minutes.
Should have been probably 15-20 minutes shorter and it would have been better. The characters and effects are over the type in a genre type of way. Yang(or the Warrior) is pretty much a homage to "Shogun Assassin".
As a matter of fact there are a lot of nods to that movie. He conveys a bad ass with a sword very well. I think if the movie had made money, it would probably have been turned into a franchise. Oh, and how bad ass in Yang? His real life name is Dong Gun! How cool is that? I really dug the western vs Asian type of concept, but I think if it were directed/or wrote by someone else, it could have been much better.
Worth a watch for me, but may be worth a purchase for some. I've seen better and I've seen a lot worse.
