The Warrior's Way (2010)

I'll be brief in saying that this movie is pretty bad, like cringe worthy.You were expecting bad ass sword fights but you get cheap choreography and CGI effects. There's no chemistry between the actors in the movie and even if there was, the acting is so over the top it takes you out of the picture. Kate Bosworth's character is a thirty something playing a twenty something who acts like she's 13 the whole movie. Geoffrey Rush drinks the whole movie, belches and stumbles around for comedic effect, even passing out with his bare ass showing. That might make me laugh if I were ten years old. The Western villain is so poorly acted and written, you think a scorned man wouldn't be such lame cartoon villain. I couldn't even finish it.

It's not John Ford, but THE WARRIOR'S WAY is an outstanding western. A blend of east & west, live action & CGI, far eastern mysticism & carnies, classic western film guitar & spaghetti western horns, with a whole new spin on a man, a woman, & a baby. Danny Huston is spectacular, Kate Bosworth brings it, and Geoffrey Rush & Tony Cox are great. This is the first I've seen of the lead, Dong-gun Jang, & I liked him. Thanks Netflix, I almost missed it. It's not John Ford, but THE WARRIOR'S WAY is an outstanding western.

I haven't heard anything about this movie prior to watching it. I saw Mr. Rush on the casting list and decided that I wanted to see it. I found this movie to be very interesting and different.I am a sucker for beautiful visual effects, therefore I found this movie to be worthy of a high rating. Everything seemed very different because of the combination of various genres (western, action, martial arts, comedy & romance). I have also got a new found respect for Kate Bosworth because she pulled the part of so beautifully. This is a major accomplishment for director Sngmoo Lee, as this is his first movie ever.But my all time favorite thing about this movie was the adorable little baby. I loved her cute facial expressions.

In the first ten seconds of the movie he is dragging his sword on the ground with an odd flashy swagger that is a little bit off putting. Okay.NINJAS come out of no where, man that's... okay he's slashed them up literally easier than a new lawn mower of grass...The greatest ninja that ever?! okay, he slashed that guy up too, even easier than the ninjas....a baby. laying in the middle of no where.So the sequence of events goes, ninjas, greatest ninja, baby.This movie is flashy garbage with no direction at all.ALL OF THAT happened in the first few minutes of the movie.
