Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

SnoopyStyle Yang (Dong-gun Jang) defeats the greatest swordsman in a 500 year old war between two clans. He saves the last girl of the opposing clan. He escapes assassins to go to America's Old West to look for his friend who turned out to have passed away. He is followed by his former master intent on finishing the last of the enemy clan. In the dusty town of Lode, Lynne (Kate Bosworth) helps him reopen his friend's laundry service. She had survived the raping Colonel (Danny Huston) and his men to find sanctuary in the dusty desert town. Eight-Ball (Tony Cox) is building a ferris wheel to set down his traveling circus. Ronald (Geoffrey Rush) is a local drunk who is also a dead shot.This starts with a little bit of humor but the writing is unable to maintain it. The writing fails again and again. Kate Bosworth is almost funny at times. There are tons of stylish action. The ending is muddled by the arrival of two different groups of bad guys. It actually diminishes the intensity and decreases the fun of the action. The style and the setup is pretty good but the writing lets it down.

Jared Simpson 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.

glennrockconner 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.

monic-balt Seen this a long time ago and just watched it again today. I thought I would give my comment for those who haven't seen it. Definitely NOT the worst movie ever. A story about an assassin learning how to love and care for others.I like this movie a lot. It is what you would expect of a fantasy action film. The cinematography was great! Although there were some scenes were it was a bit too much, it's not that big a deal. The style of the film was meant to be fantasy-like.I don't get why people are hating the main character saying "he doesn't talk much" and that if he does "he can't say it straight with his accent". Well what do you expect? He's an assassin from the east. He lived a life of solitude and was taught not to care for anything or anyone. It will be unnatural for him to be all smiles and chatter and speak fluent English with American accent.The action scenes were great. Very fluid and dance-like. Yes, the fight between the main character and his teacher could have been more. Don't expect a heavy dose of action because, again, the main point of the film is the assassin's journey into finding his humanity. Still, the action provided are more than enough.I really recommend this film. Anyone who hates it most likely just didn't understand the message.
