Sngmoo Lee is making his directorial/writing debut with this action fantasy that mixes martial arts and westerns. For a $45m budget some of the effects look quite rough, but the western mix may prove to be interesting. Sukiyaki Western Django left a bad taste in my mouth, so I hope this delivers. The Warrior’s Way stars South Korean blockbuster star Jang Dong Gun, Kate Bosworth, Danny Huston and Geoffrey Rush. Check out the trailer below via Apple.
