Warrior's Way [Blu-ray] Reviews

Most everyone knows that The Magnificent Seven was an Americanized remake of Seven Samurai, but what if you put both of those classics together and added a touch of Sergio Leone to the mix? Well, you’d have something akin to Sngmoo Lee’s The Warrior’s Way, a weird amalgamation of the three that gives us the first samurai spaghetti western. And hopefully, it’ll be the last. It’s not that the idea isn’t novel, but there’s only enough plot in the movie for about ten minutes of screen time, so the film has been stretched to endless extremes with phony, toney slow motion battles and artificially pithy sayings about manhood and worthiness. The characters, the look, the narrative: all seem off, and the movie isn’t much fun, even for those whose bloodlust knows no bounds.
