Reviews for The Warrior
The point is as clear as the breathtaking vistas: Corrupt and powerful rulers are to be resisted for the sake of humanity. And that makes this period piece as current as any rabble-rousing political documentary.

Engaging and suspenseful, and never less than thoughtful.
07/15/05
A sublime rarity, with its renegade warrior's inner struggle reflecting our wayward society's quest to rediscover its lost soul.
12/08/05
There's a pinch of Akira Kurosawa, a sprinkle of Clint Eastwood, and heaps of originality in this.

Top CriticKapadia constantly proves himself to be a director with not only an astonishingly rich visual imagination but also a strong sense of narrative, intelligently integrating a handful of flashbacks.
07/13/05
"The Warrior" is a timeless and lyrical movie set against the stunning beauty of the Himalayan Mountains.
04/16/09
A mournful meditation on killing for a living, Asif Kapadia's film is by turns poetic and preachy. It's also unexpectedly gripping.
07/29/05
If subtitles turn you off of foreign movies, you won't have much of a problem with this one. Most of the film is carried by Khan's expressive face.
12/04/05
It's little more than a spaghetti western (which here might be called a chapati western), that elevates itself by not sticking entirely with its revenge intended theme.
11/30/05
I much prefer the full-throated passion of The Gate of the Sun, but it's to the film's credit that it's able to say so much with very little words.
06/22/05
Although the plot is over-simplistic, Kapadia sucks us into his exotic world using cinematic magic.
04/22/02
The leading man has a sorrowful and introspective expression throughout the picture, but it seems like more... it seems like language.
05/14/02
If you have patience, this is a stately, beautifully composed story.
07/15/05
Top CriticIf you can forgive its lapses in storytelling and character development, then Kapadia's 2001 feature filmmaking debut delivers, at minimum, an impressive visual account of a worthwhile spiritual journey.
07/29/05
A work of rare and consuming integrity
07/21/05
A beautiful and affecting meditation on what it takes to bring about peace.
07/16/05
Asif Kapadia's feature debut is a minimalist but strikingly beautiful tale of renounced violence told with uncommon precision and depth.
07/15/05
Asif Kapadia's blazing feature debut, a gorgeously photographed saga with a fine sense of the way place shapes personality, has won numerous awards in the filmmaker's native Britain.
