Sumptuous and profound, this is a stunning debut.
December 30, 2006 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
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.
August 5, 2005 | Rating: 3/4 -
Long before the end, it takes on the quality of a wise fable and reveals itself as an enriching experience.
July 29, 2005 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… -
If 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.

A film for moviegoers who love powerful stories and ravishing imagery.
July 28, 2005 | Rating: 3.5/4 -
There's a pinch of Akira Kurosawa, a sprinkle of Clint Eastwood, and heaps of originality in this.

Audience Reviews for The Warrior

Jun 04, 2013After his family is killed by his former lord, a warrior seeks to find inner peace. Essentially an internal, spiritual journey, <i>The Warrior</i> is highlighted by a good, understated performance by Irfan Khan and some picturesque scenes of India's landscape. But the story is old, and though it doesn't submit to the temptation to become a simple revenge story, what arises in place of cliche is not much better because the film is unable to get us far enough into Lafcadia's psyche to become a compelling internal drama. Overall, while there is a lot to like about this film, I don't think it succeeds because its central conflict is too obscure.Jim H Super Reviewer

Dec 19, 2008A charming pearl,nowadays,real adventures require a special pilgrimage.The Warrior Within.Khan portrays the spiritual conclusion of an ecumenical hermit.As boring as it sounds,I assure you it's one of the recent "unknown" great films.Dimitris S Super Reviewer

Oct 19, 2008Using the rugged desert landscape of Rajasthan like a character in the film and capturing stunningly beautiful images, The Warrior is a very visual spectacle which tells the story in a very focused and confident way. Irfan Khan is outstanding in the lead and I would enjoy seeing him again in Slumdog Millionaire. With a title like this, you'd expect a grisly, gruesome epic. But no, this is a small, intimate drama about trying to change one's life while trying to reject the strong internal drive for vengeance. <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj203/goji9000/?action=view¤t=TheWarrior.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj203/goji9000/TheWarrior.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>El Hombre I Super Reviewer
