The Warrior's Way [Blu-ray]

Good Movie

Yet another movie to add to my collection.

Writer /Director Sngmoo Lee has created a brilliant homage to the films of Sergio Leone, Run Run Shaw, and Director Buichi Sato's 'LONE WOLF AND CUB/BABY CART' series with this excellent rouser 'THE WARRIOR'S WAY' , never copying the story lines but creating a scenic nostalgia for them. Narrated mystically by British actor Geoffrey Rush, it tells the story of the greatest warrior in the world who massacres a rival warrior clan but spares a female baby, the lone survivor,which sparks the ire of his father causing the warrior to set sail for the old west to start a new life. Coming upon a deserted, wasted village, he decides to take refuge and becomes entwined in the populace there. The film then resembles Director Burt Kennedy's western 'WELCOME TO HARD TIMES'-1970 as the outlaws responsible for the decimation of the town return yearly to wreck havoc once again. Since the warrior lives there, samurai warriors including his father are on a big time revenge spree and the outlaws are caught by surprise. Besides Rush, feisty Kate Bosworth and great villainy by the brilliant Danny Huston impress with their in-your-face emoting and the warrior is played by Martial Arts pop star Jang Dong Gun performing some sensational moves and sword work. The film was shot in New Zealand by Woo Yong Kim but it seems that the special visual digital effects were created by an international ensemble from New Zealand, California, Korea, and India giving the circus populace in the village a Fellini-esque visual feel. Maestro Ennio Morricone is also given a homage by composer Javier Navarrete in a sweeping score with operatic undercurrents. The film is released by 20th Century Fox's Rogue Movie series in a nice 2.35 digital 5.1 transfer and has deleted scenes and a behind the scenes montage as sole extras. So if your looking for a unique blend of genre filmmaking, look no further and click the add to cart button for a film which emerges as a cult classic ready to explode.

This movie reminded me of Quentin Tarantino movies. There is a surreal quality to it combined with extreme violence and martial arts. The protagonist is an incredible skilled ninja that tries to escape his life of killing when he refuses to execute the young child of a "target" who was assassinated by him. He takes the child across the Pacific to America where he is trying to hide from his clan as he knows he has violated a most sacred rule. His clan considers his actions a treason to the clan and go after him. Only his death will restore the clan's loss of face. He finds himself in a run down town in the middle of the desert that harbors people who used to work in a fair or circus but now the town has died away and he has to fit somehow with the little kid.The bad guys are bandits and this section of the movie turns into a Western with elements of the movie "The Magnificent Seven". Later in the movie you will find the western genre combined with martial arts just like the old TV series of "Kung Fu" which I really liked.The movie includes ninja martial arts, gunslingers, romance and redemption. Needless to say, there is a lot of action worth watching.I really liked this movie and I am giving it 5 stars.

Rating 3.5/5The Warrior's Way was released in 2010.It is directed by first time director Sngmoo Lee.It stars Dong Gun Jang(The Promise,Dangerous Liaisons),Kate Bosworth(Superman Returns,Wonderland),Geoffrey Rush(Pirates of the Caribbean,Shakespeare in Love),Danny Huston(X Men Origins:Wolverine,Children of Men),Tony Cox(Bad Santa,Oz the Great and Powerful),and Shaw Brothers Legend Ti Lung(Avenging Eagle,A Better Tomorrow).This is Jang Dong Gun's hollywood debut.and like many other Asian actors.His English is poor,so you have a hard time understanding him.What was great about the Warriors way was the casting and the cinematography.There was a lot of rugged and gritty characters that used more dialogue than lines.The producers and the filmakers created a western world so real that they got too lost in the enviroment they created and were having too much fun.Leaving the audience somewhat bored and waiting for the action.Too much of the relation between Yang and Lynne were shown,along with the characters in the village.The villains were left out and only showed up when needed.there wasnt too much focus on them. Ti Lung finally makes a hollywood debut.He speaks English as well.And if you have never seen his work at the shaw brothers movies that made him a legend before Donnie Yen,Jet Li,and Jackie Chan.You need to check them out Asap.

I saw the movie on TV and loved it, so I ordered my own copy.

It took me awhile to decide whether to purchase this movie due to the poor reviews that I'd read. Well folks, don't read the negative reviews of those who do not appreciate a film that is not all action packed and sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat cinema throughout the show. This had action just in the right places. As for the actor's: Kate Bosworth did a great portrayal of her character, as a women growing up in a desolate western town with life experiences as her only education. Watch for the expression's on the baby's face, that will give you a good "chuckle". It had to have taken a lot of patience and excellent timing for those shots. I love to watch Geoffrey Rush in anything he portrays, he never disappoints. Dong-Gun Jang, I believe this is the first time that I've seen him but think he is a great actor and will watch for other movies that he is in. All in all, great movie. Try it, you'll enjoy.

La película llegó rápido y en buen estado. La película es grandiosa, si te gusta los géneros Western y Ninjas está es tu película, mucha acción. Está subtitulado al español.

Der Film ist mit meinen Geräten nicht abspielbar. Es ist in der Beschreibung nicht ersichtlich das es eine engliscche Version ist.

三流ハリウッド映画のなんちゃってチャンバラ映画〜？？と、期待なしでレンタルして観たけどいやいや凄く面白かったです。アクションシーンは日本人も指導に加わっているらしいですね。剣術シーン撮るのは日本が一番上手だど思います。あとチャン・ドンゴンさん。個人的にはこの映画のドンゴンさんが一番カッコいい。寡黙で朴訥としてるのに凄腕。物静かなドンゴンさんの実際の人柄とも重なっているのかな？ノーブルなかっこ良さは際立ってます。

Diese DVD ist mit keinem Gerät ob DVD Player oder PS3 abspielbar. Schade :(Es ist auch keine Info vorhanden

チャン ドンゴンが格好良かった。お姫様が可愛いすぎです。映像がキレイで、チャンドンゴンが少しずつ人間らしくなるところも良くて、最後までアクションなとで魅せでくれました。
