An excellent movie based on an outstanding book

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2006)

I've long been a fan and admirer of Dan Millman's work, and have read all of his books save the children's titles. Peaceaful Warrior is based on Dan's first book, without a doubt, one of his finest. It, and the books that followed, have helped create many positive changes in my life, as they have for many, many others around the world. So it was with no small expectation that I finally saw the movie while on a business trip. I was not disappointed.
Nick Nolte is a blast as Socrates and Scott and Amy are both excellent. Even though I know the book very well, having read it many times, I was quickly drawn into the movie of and by itself. I can promise I'll see it again if it comes closer to my hometown, and will be the first in line to order the DVD when available.
To say the least, I highly recommend seeing the movie. Then buy Dan's books, one at a time, starting with Way of the Peaceful Warrior. You won't be disappointed, either.
