A master assassin (Dong-gun Jang) has a sworn duty to kill the last survivor of the enemy clan. But when he discovers she’s a helpless infant, he’s touched by her innocence and decides to put down the sword and start a new life... raising the baby in the Old West. In a dusty broken-down carnival town, he meets a spirited woman (Kate Bosworth) and lives peacefully until a large gang of ruthless outlaws force the true hero to kill again. It's an East meets West final showdown with a famous sharpshooter (Geoffrey Rush), a sadistic gang leader (Danny Huston), the assassin clan he betrayed, and the entire town waging war with guns, swords, fists and fury.

I have a very similar relationship to Asian cinema as I do to Asian cuisine. Some things I got a taste for right away and have repeated several times since (Akira Kurosawa, John Woo, Peking duck breast, kung pao...), some things I tend to be cautious about (comedies, various noodles made in various ways...) and some things I prefer to avoid (anime, sushi and other sea creatures). So the film The Warrior's Way (there's the title again!) was a great unknown. Fortunately, it turned out well, exceedingly. It's not a comedy, but exaggeration abounds, visually it's a beautifully re-styled spectacle almost as colorful as Lemonade Joe, the action scenes are deliberately exaggerated and thanks to that can be imaginative. The protagonist is rather inarticulate, which is a good thing, because the talking is done by his co-stars in the form of the charming Kate Bosworth, the frothy Geoffrey Rush and the slimy Danny Huston. If Italy made a spaghetti western, this could be a noodle western. Great fun, just don't take it seriously.___P.S. Intersonic has pleasantly surprised us this time. On the DVD cover it says that it does not contain Czech subtitles, but they are there.
