A visually beautiful film with a spiritual message

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2007)

I really liked this film and had to see it a couple times to pick up on all the spiritual messages it contained throughout. Nick Nolte is wonderful as the "teacher of life" bringing such depth to his character. Scott Mechlowicz is incredible as a young athlete on a somewhat "messy" spiritual journey. This young actor can really act! I predict we will be seeing much more good work from this gifted actor. Amy Smart also gave a touching and warm performance as Joy...and she is a beauty. "Peaceful Warrior" is a visually stunning film to watch as it captures at times an other worldly ambiance of mystery and intrigue. I would love to see everyone who saw the other "warrior" film of recent "300" also check out this film to get another perspective on what it means to be a "warrior for peace".
