An Excellent Movie that leaves you thinking long after the movie

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2006)

While this movie is based a section of the book "Way of the Peaceful Warrior" it touches you in new and different ways. Nick Nolte is perfectly cast as Socrates and his dry sense of humor truly adds to the role. Scott makes an interesting Dan Millman portraying a young athlete facing the challenges of college and change in a very believable manner. The interaction between the two and the mentorship relationship is an integral part of the film. After you leave the movie you keep thinking about that interaction and how your life could be changed for the better. While I realize that movies are limited to the time this movie could have been made even better by including more of the book. If you liked "Way of the Peaceful Warrior" you will definitely enjoy this movie.
