The Warrior's Way

I went into this with fairly low expectations. It appeared to be basically Cowboys vs. Ninjas, and I thought it should at least be able to present some modest entertainment on the visceral level present in that premise. I could not have been more wrong. The film is a complete misfire on every level. Its bad. Not laughably bad, or even a fascinating fiasco, just bad. I cannot not recommend even seeing this on a mocking level since its the kind of thing you feel like you could mock, but can't be bothered to because you're bored. Really its a film that wants to look like it was directed by Zach Snyder, but didn't feel like paying for him. It tries really hard to be stylish and 'cool' but all you really end up seeing is the effort with no payoff. Kind of like the nerdy kid in high school (who may or may not have been me) who finally gets invited to a party, tries to act like he thinks the 'cool' kids do, but tries too hard and ends up just making everyone feel sad. The action scenes don't even deliver much in the way of enjoyment as they unfold with the perfunctory nature of a video game - See Ninjas/Cowboys, kill ninjas/cowboys, rinse repeat.

I can't even be bothered to talk about this anymore. Just avoid it.
