Cation: This Might Contain Spoilers! The Warrior's Way is a film about an man who becomes the greatest swordsman in the world, and is about to murder his last enemy (a baby girl). In her laughter he found something, and ends up saving her from his clan. He goes to the west to find an old friend. Instead he finds a circus that's trying to rebuild itself. This films pretty much establishes itself as being too dramatic to be comical, and too comical to be dramatic within the first five minutes. It's told in a fable sort of way. The visual styling of this film is amazing, it's like a series of various painted pictures. However, the story gets to be too cartoony. The fighting scene's also are over done. For me, I felt this was a satire. The acting helped to keep the film interesting. This was an interesting choice of film for Geoffrey Rush to choose coming out of the Pirates franchise. However, this is a good choice for Dong-gun Jang-it'll open him up to American audience's and American filmmakers. It won't gain him much appeal, but it might lead to better roles in the future (in America). This will also, hopefully, open up opportunities for the first time director Sngmoo Lee.
I give this a 6 out of 10 stars. It has a good basis, but it falls short as the story continues to progress. The visual effects are amazing, but the action gets to be too cartoony.
