The premise is simple, a story about a "Warrior" working for a feudal landlord whom decided to give up his sword for the peace and simple virtues of village life where he grew up. Unfortunately, the landlord would not allow such "disloyalty" and sent the other "warriors" after Lafcadia, brilliantly played by Ifhan Khan.
Wonderful cinematography and superb and intense acting by Ifhan Khan. Unfortunately, the Warrior failed to live up to its fullest potential due to flaws in the story and its overly simplistic script. We never fully understood the reasons for Lafcadia to give up his killing ways. What was the impetus? What about Riaz, the boy whom Lafcadia met on the way to the mountains? These are among the numerous questions lingering on as the movie slowly unfolds as Lafcadia found his way eventually to the mountains.
On the whole, I will be looking forward to seeing more works from director Asif Kapadia who has shown promise and potential with The Warrior.
