Unfairly maligned, grossly under-appreciated "Wu Xia meets Gunslinger" film.The "martial artist with a baby" angle was probably inspired by the "Samurai Assassin" series of films.The fish out of water "Eastern martial artist in the Old West" angle was probably inspired by Bruce Lee's "Kung Fu."Sad to see so many movie fans slam this film so harshly. It really wasn't the awful mess they made it out to be. It was quite good in many respects. The plot/theme was clear and well-defined. The cinematography was expert. The fight sequences were skillfully choreographed, as good as those in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" or "Hero." Movie fans who have yet to see this film may want to ignore the naysayers and give it a chance. They may be pleasantly surprised. Or not.

I regret watching this movie at home and not at the movie theater. these kind of movies are much more enjoyable specially on the big screen. The movie has a magic to it and atmosphere that is very well portrayed.I loved the hero character being the " silent and deadly " type, it saved the script and boosted up the acting.If you are into samurai and warrior's from the east and such I definitely recommend this movie, it successfully managed to combine swordsman skills with cowboy gun fights, which I never seen before. the movie is very stylish and they did a great job with the atmospheric effects.

'The Warrior's Way' is A Fair Entertainer, that works best as a lazy Sunday afternoon watch. 'The Warrior's Way' Synopsis: A warrior-assassin is forced to hide in a small town in the American Badlands after refusing a mission.'The Warrior's Way' is a time-pass entertainer, that doesn't even attempt to be legendary. Its a watchable action fare, that offers some very good action & crisp editing. The Screenplays is written ably. Sngmoo Lee's Direction is efficient. Cinematography & Art Design are passable. Graphics leave a lot to be desired. Performance-Wise: Geoffrey Rush does well, as usual. Jang Dong Gun plays the protagonist nicely. Kate Bosworth is fabulous, while Danny Huston has a blast playing the notorious villain. On the whole, 'The Warrior's Way' works till it lasts.
