The Warrior

The feature debut of British born Indian writer and director Asif Kapadia is a disappointment that it relies too much on the audience's goodwill to fill the gaps in the story that never makes much sense. Instead it's heavy on atmosphere with beautiful images thanks to cinematographer Roman Osin of stunning locations. The story of a warrior who suddenly realizes that his profession is not a noble one and sets out for a spiritual journey in the Himalayas. The story is underwritten on purpose with too many cliches that even the lead actor, the always solid Irrfan Khan seems lost. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
