inspiring movie, well cast

Rating: 9/10 (22 September 2006)

The Peaceful Warrior is true to the book, well cast and worth the price of the movie ticket. I would pay to see the movie again. And then I would buy it for my personal library. Great movies are ones that show you what can be done when the chips are down and when you think all is lost. I liked the mystery of a college student who thought he had the world by the tail, doing what he thought was expected of him, doing what he expected he would do in life and then he met a simple gas station attendant, who was a man of character and integrity who turned his ordinary planned life around and brought him on a spiritual path. A path that caused the lead character to question all that he thought he was about and bring him into a world that had heart and meaning beyond his imagination, beyond his former perceived abilities. If you liked Karate Kid, this movie is for you.
