Reviews for The Warrior
"The Warrior" is a timeless and lyrical movie set against the stunning beauty of the Himalayan Mountains.

Its deadly pacing and almost word-free screenplay make it seem like a very long slog indeed.

A starkly beautiful and poignant film of evil, family, transformation and redemption set in ancient India.

Considering that this is a film set in feudal India of an indefinite era, the film should be surprisingly thoughtful and engaging for American audience.

Director Asif Kapadia mixes suggestions of violence (mostly off-screen) with sumptuous cinematography and a touch of the mystical.

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.

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.

It is hardly the most original story, but Kapadia, the British-born son of Indian immigrants, infuses it so much with stately resonance and spiritual reverence, that it never seems remotely shopworn, much less laborious.

Long before the end, it takes on the quality of a wise fable and reveals itself as an enriching experience.

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.

Top CriticA mournful meditation on killing for a living, Asif Kapadia's film is by turns poetic and preachy. It's also unexpectedly gripping.
