Viewing Notes

This morning I headed over to Muvico to catch the digital presentation of Sngmoo Lee’s The Warrior’s Way (2010). Apparently this was originally titled the “Laundry Warrior” which is reason enough for the change. This genre mash of Old East meets Old West action adventure is akin to a live action anime and I appreciate what it tries to do under that premise.

Not many would consider this a good film (I’ve heard some say it’s absolutely terrible) but it’s the kind of silly fun that I enjoy on the big screen. No surprise there. Jang Dong-gun carries the strength needed in the lead while Danny Huston and Geoffrey Rush chew up the scenery in OTT performances. Kate Bosworth is… not very good. Great to see Ti Lung but he’s not given much to do.
