Fantastic!

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

There are some movies out there that have the power to change your life: this is one of them. If you are feeling down and need a reality check to get inspired, you must watch this movie. This movie made me understand the real meaning of never giving up and the importance in believing in yourself! Then there is something else, something much bigger than we are... but I don't want to spoil it. Watch it; it is based on a true story!

This movie changed my life back In the day.It's the movie that thought me the reality of life Where you have to be determined and composed to succeed. I've watched it countless timesEveryone should watch this movieIt's the kind of movie that drives you emotionally and makes you rethink your way of life

Admirable attempt in introducing the watcher to the main teachings of The Buddha, but with a serious dose of Dan Millman style. Basically, this movie is a cinematographic version of what Dan Millman understood from the zen Mahayana Buddhism, through the good will of a man that he calls "Socrates", interpreted quite good by ol' Nick. Not with a lack of a nice touch, if I'm not mistaking. Anyway, this is the reference after a short notice to the subject, and 10 years later from it. This teachings are quite "cool" among occidentals, especially when renamed the "peaceful warrior way". U can make a decent movie out of this, and also a movie that holds a seed of some great meaning, that if planted will generate positive reactions in peoples minds. And it did. Just scrolling the user reviews, u get a obvious "hint" that the movie will not be a waste of time. The only serious prerequisite for this movie to make any sense and be somewhat fun to watch, is not to be a proselyte of any kind by that matter (even a atheist one). The message is the only thing this movie is all about at any given time. Shure u can rub your chin in a "unshaved manner" about the whole plot and etc., but as long as u keep in mind that the only thing that made this movie a real project, is the simple idea that backs up the whole story ... and that is the peaceful warrior way of Dan Millman.Enjoy, all you that bare in mind the present.

I adored this movie, Nick Nolte's character was so wise, honest and a beautiful teacher. His acting was really good. This story made me cry, prob because it was very close to home but regardless I was so impressed that the spiritual adversity and enlightenment process was not over-done or cheesy. I enjoyed watching Dan 'Millman' grow and come home to himself, how his ego diminished and his spirit began to live again. This film is a reminder of how 'the moment' is everything and only through courage of the heart and true surrender to our vulnerabilities make us 'Warriors' I also loved the end scene when his fellow gymnast asks Dan for advice, and Dan realises that this was a reflection of his former self, showing him how far he had come now. A beautiful moment that gives us the feeling that he's now become the teacher, the master of himself and now in the position to be of service. He believes in himself again. Very clever movie I'm sure I will recommend to loads of people, I'm surprised I'd never even heard of it before. Must be very underrated.
