THE WARRIOR’S WAY (Theatrical Release South Korea 2010)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 2.6|5.0 Starsìì

The Warrior’s Way starts with an Asian professional swordsman fighting and killing other professional swordsmen, finding a female baby in a chest, taking her to an American Western town/circus, and finding that the town/circus has an interesting and gory past. The movie’s flavor seems to play along the lines of the television series, Wild, Wild, West. This is not the best film for Dong-gun Jang, Kate Bosworth, Geoffrey Rush, Danny Houston, and Tony Cox. In final analysis, this film is: a few fight scenes that are worth watching with several unnecessary sexual references thrown in to enhance its deserved R-rating (blood and gore).

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. Director Sngmoo Lee tries to pull a ‘best’ effort, but seems hampered by the poorly written script.
