The Warrior’s Way (written and directed by Sngmoo Lee) is a mixture of a Chinese fantasy, Seven Samurai, a western, and a cartoon. It's a funny, odd yet enjoyable film. Check out the review here.
Why So Blu?:
The Warrior’s Way is big on adventure and one could even say that it is a fable of sorts. There’s a high level of elegance to it. Yes, it’s even a bit on the whimsical side. I think all of the genres that it used were blended in properly, so as not be jumbled or distracting. If you’re a samurai, anime, western, steampunk, fan then you really owe it to yourself to check out The Warrior’s Way on Blu-ray. Considering that the theatrical marketing was horrible, I hope it gets a second life on the Blu-ray format.
Drunk on Judgement: Pretty much all I could glean from the trailers for The Warrior’s Way was that it has something to do with cowboys vs. ninjas. No one needs more than that honestly, but the film’s plot turned out to be surprisingly complex. While The Warrior’s Way doesn’t have the smallest budget in the world, it’s clearly a limited one, but the filmmakers spent what they had in all the right places.
Wow, another good review for it. I can't believe it...all that I've read and seen has pretty much said it's garbage. I guess I might have to give it a chance.
Dude I was fully expecting garbage, just some throw away studio money grab, not the case.
Not sure how it could be a money grab since it's an indie film, but I totally get what you're saying.
I could only see someone saying it was garbage if they went in expecting and wanting a wire fu classic martial arts style movie. I however loved the fighting style and over the top mysticism.
Even if you don't like kung fu movies I'd say this would still pass as not bad.
