A pain in the ass for someone with a job to do, films that open without screening for critics usually draw one of two responses: 1. Yes, that was probably a wise decision; or 2. Have a little faith, studio chickens! I’m not sure how a system that’s pushing Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford’s upcoming Cowboys and Aliens would assume that critics won’t get a film like The Warrior’s Way ; it’s been a mad, mixed-up genre world for some time now. Yet if writer/director Sngmoo Lee’s feature debut isn’t the first revisionist udon western, surely it will wind up being close to the only one. A shame, in a way, because I suspect a little company would only confirm that it’s also one of the best.
