This film is moving, and has some beautiful shots. But, surprisingly for a film called The Warrior, it doesn't have any sword fights. It never becomes quite as exciting as you think it should be. There's a few sword slashes (at random civilians, not in a fight), but it doesn't reach a level of high tension. The costumes and props are pretty decent - it seems the budget went on those things rather than special effects, since there is very little blood, and the deaths are so obviously fake.
If you're looking for an evocative tale about one man's grief and pain in a historical Indian setting, I highly recommend it. But it is most definitely not the Indian equivalent of APOCALYPTO or HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS.
