This is probably amongst the strangest titles I would’ve given a review post in a long time. I would’ve loved to say that the movie truly kicks ass but that would be over-stating the case. To be fair, the movie does try very hard though
Watch the first half and you feel you are in for a real treat. The build up is so wonderful, the pacing so correct, that you gear up for an enthralling second half. So many conflicts, simmering emotions ever so restrained, a moving storyline in the making - the concoction is served just right. The only hitch is..it doesn’t deliver as much. The climax is probably the most disappointing amidst it all and this, when its not a bad climax per se. In fact, I think the movie falls prey to its own expectations.
There are two things that would have made this movie an absolute knock out..a bit more of the story telling and a better climax. I don’t know who slipped up – the director or the editor but someone definitely did, in this otherwise masterfully presented flick
Other than that, you get treated to some of the best acting from all the leads, that you would have seen in some time now, very good fight scenes, exquisitely shot and presented..it sets the adrenalin flowing, the blood rushing and you don’t want to budge from your seat till the fight is over. The background score also does justice and blends in well with the action.
All in all, Warrior qualifies as a must-watch in this movie season but don’t be surprised if you feel a trifle disappointed by the time the credits roll in. Definitely not cheated…but maybe just a trifle disappointed
So go get a piece of the action and judge for yourself.
