The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I read a lot of positive reviews about this movie. The movie was definitely good, but only for people without a knowledge of the country/customs/language. The dialog delivery is bad, the dialect very modern Hindi with no touch of Rajasthan, the places misplaced, the customs missing, at times women are shown wearing way more modern dresses than men thus being out of place. The director has taken a western story and placed it in the east with some very good eastern appeal but forgot to change the story accordingly.The story moves around without any respect to geographical distances. The snow covered mountains are at least months away from the deserts when traveled on a bullock cart. It's impossible that the kind of landowner shown in the movie would have control over such vast territory with so few goons/warriors. The old lady has been unnecessarily added. I can only think that people liked this movie only because they hardly have any knowledge of that part of the country and were fascinated by a movie from the east addressing a concept the west has made hundreds of movies about.

Since previous comments have adequately summarised the main story line of this film, there is no need for me to repeat them. However..... I first saw this film on television a short while ago, and again over the Christmas period, on DVD. Seeing the film by itself, one can possibly enjoy the final cut for what it is, although I have to admit that my second viewing did tend to highlight the sparseness of the story-line and film. It is when one comes to see the film on DVD that the trouble begins. I would STRONGLY advise all viewers who have otherwise seen and quite enjoyed the film NOT to view the "extra" feature on the DVD entitled "Alternate and Deleted Scenes". Otherwise, you will be reminded of the Marcus Antonious speech in "Julius Ceasar".... "if you have tears, prepare to shed them now.......". For nearly one hour the viewer is presented with alternate or deleted scene after scene that did not make the final cut but whose cumulative effect is to underline how otherwise totally brilliant, impressive, and moving the final cut of the film could have been had they been included - and had made the film probably around 120-plus minutes of viewing time instead of its measly present 87 minutes. Time and again the exclusions really did make one wonder about the so-called film-making thinking and skills of the director and his film editor, given that all those exclusions would have superbly rounded-out not only the story line but also the "feelings" of involvement of the viewer. In addition, viewers should be warned that for virtually the whole of that hour of alternate and deleted scenes section, the director's voice intones non-stop about how superbly he thought his film-making skills were in lining up particular shots or how far better he thought it was to drop completely many shots. In addition, I found the director's uneducated use of the English language to be screamingly annoying....."He sort of got up and went into the desert...."; " He kind of did this as the camera follows him...."; and "like" this thing then happened....etc. I am of course paraphrasing, but that gives a taste of the horrendous misuse of the English language that one has to put up with in that section. In other words, what this film absolutely requires is a patron saint who will purchase all its rights from the present director, and start again with all the alternate and deleted scenes inserted in order to make it the masterpiece it really deserves to be.

The lead actor is mesmerizing. I was enraptured by his expressions. His eyes were so deep and filled with so much soulful emotion- Shakespeare would have been proud. Even though Khan/ The Warrior speaks so few words, his performance is riveting every time the camera is on him. Actually, the entire cast is magnificent and the film was so well shot. There are more than a few moments when it just blows you away; the connection between the warrior and the orphan boy, the snow on his feet in the desert when he has the epiphany, the anguish of his loss. It is truly a work of art. It isn't an action film, but it is a dramatic and cinematic triumph. Khan's performance ranks up there with the best I've seen from anyone in the world, east or west. It is no small feat to convey those depths of emotion and express them so powerfully through your eyes. As they say in India- "Wah wah" / wow!

The title might be misleading for action movie fans such as I. However, I really liked this movie , but be warned, it is a drama not an action movie.This story is all about character choices and karma, not sword fights.(spoiler)... here are a few examples of karma... the warrior gives his son a knife, which was given to him by his grandfather or father ( not sure) when he started working for his lord, on the same day that he stops working for his lord. Also (spoiler)... his son is also killed with said knife...he who lives by the sword might die by his ancestors sword or knife. The film locations are beautiful.I did not know who the actors were since I am not knowledgeable about Indian cinema, but I found the actors to be very good. My favorite character was probably the blind woman...she was just creepy.
