This week at the movies brings just one wide release: the martial arts/Western/fantasy mashup The Warrior’s Way, starring Dong-gun Jang and Kate Bosworth. What do the critics have to say?
We’d love to give you the critical lowdown on The Warrior’s Way, but unfortunately it appears that the film wasn’t screened prior to release. Dong-gun Jang stars as a swordsman who flees to America after refusing a mission from his warrior clan; when his former compatriots come looking for him, he must protect his new friends from danger. Kids, take a break from playing Way of the Samurai and guess that Tomatometer! (Check out star Geoffrey Rush’s Five Favorite Films.)
