The Warrior's Way (沙漠戰士) is an 2010 film. The film has been credited to both the USA and New Zealand. Jang Dong-gun, Kate Bosworth, Geoffrey Rush, Danny Huston, Tony Cox, and Ti Lung star in this b-movie western.
Jang plays Yang, a master swordsman who's left for the wild west of the US from some unnamed Asian country from accross the sea. Yang lands in a town where a former friend ran a laundry shop. There, Yang meets Lynne, played by Kate Bosworth and Ron played by Oscar award winner Geoffrey Rush. All three have a shady past that they would like to escape. When some bandits visit the city, Yang is forced to draw his sword, which leads his former clan members to converge on the town.
This was a guilty pleasure kind of western. The main protagonist, Yang, was like cartoony in his powers. Able dodge bullets and slash everything in sight. Lynne and Ron brought some humanity and angst to the film.
A good watch, but one that I could have waited for cable to give me.
