Peaceful Warrior Reviews

This is a movie to be seen again and again. I don't understand the critics' views. Perhaps they are just not at a level to understand the... y of this movie. When I saw Peaceful Warrior the theatre was packed and the audience stood and clapped at the end. Many had tears in their eyes. How often does that happen at a movie? See it, and be your own critic!

I give a strong performances by Scott Mechlowicz and Nick Nolte who changes his life ground the film in effective drama. But the film is better than... it has any right to be, considering the prosaic source. Full Review

I'd read the Millman book years ago as a young man and the film far surpassed my low expectations. Nick Nolte was perfect and the young actor... g Dan was superb. The director focussed aptly on the reactions his journey had on others. This could have been a cheesy Brian's Song, Icecastles trip into maudlin sentimentality -- instead it was a refreshing insightful look at the choices we make and the passions we serve. Go see it before it goes away -- it's possibly the rave sleeper hit of 2006! Full Review
