The Warrior's Way

...is easily the best circus-themed, martial-arts-heavy action-comedy oater of the year.

...it gets by plenty on sheer outlandishness, at its high point seeing cowboys, ninjas, clowns, and a little person (the great Tony Cox, phoning in a reprise from Bad Santa) going apeshit in an Old West town square.

The look has the impossible feel of a CGI soundstage: Not cheap, not even necessarily fake, just… weird.

...on a visual level, The Warrior’s Way is a fun film. Lee uses slow-mo and interesting camera tricks to engage in imaginative imagery and composition.

The movie is pure cheeseball, yet serious enough to garner an R, not only for sensationally over-the-top violence, but the curious adult themes it dishes out.
