Peaceful Warrior was a wonderful hero's journey

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2006)

It is great to see a film which has something encouraging to reflect upon, learn from and absorb and is a great human story that can be appreciated by all types of people no matter what their religious or political inclination. It gets the message across without being either too preachey or overly new-age.
The choice for Nick Nolte as Socrates was a prefect choice since he seemed the most unlikely of types to be a "wise man." His "rugged wisdom" kept the tension of the story alive.
I think the new actor, Scott Mechlowicz, will be someone who will go far with his career and I look forward to seeming more of him soon.
Great casting and directing.
I hope to see more of this kind of film evolving in our era of violence and fear. We all need to be inspired.
Bravo! I will see it again.
