The Warrior’s Way

THE WARRIOR’S WAY (Alliance, 2010) D: Sngmoo Lee, w/ Jang Dong-gun, Kate Bosworth. Rating: NN DVD package: NN Rating: NN


A ninja super-swordsman (Jang Dong-gun) refuses to kill a baby, the last survivor of a rival clan, so his own clan wants to kill him. He grabs the kid and does a runner to America, fetching up in a tiny ghost town populated by a drunk (Geoffrey Rush), a cute girl (Kate Bosworth) and a bunch of circus people slowly building a giant Ferris wheel. The town is about to be trashed by a sadistic outlaw (Danny Huston) and his horde, and the swordsman’s clan is closing in.

The extended cowboys-versus-ninjas climax offers some CG and wirework fun, but the mix of Sergio Leone and anime styles never becomes anything more than a gimmick.

There’s more action in the deleted scenes, and the behind-the-scenes montage will give you a taste of the chaos involved in mounting a CG-and-wire battle.

EXTRAS Deleted scenes, on-set montage. Widescreen. English, French audio. English, French, Spanish subtitles.
