Profile of Nomad (The Warrior)

Nomad (The Warrior) can be described as rough and exciting. The plot revolves around a folk hero, leadership, and a royal family. The main genres are drama, foreign, and period. In terms of style, Nomad (The Warrior) is epic. In approach, it is serious. It takes place in the 18th century.

Summary of Nomad (The Warrior)

Oscar-winning director Milos Forman executive produces this cinematic import from Kazakhstan. In the 18th century, Mongolian invaders rule the country. The Kazakhs are divided by infighting, but Oraz (Jason Scott Lee, THE JUNGLE BOOK) searches for the messiah destined to unite and save his people. He finds Mansur, the baby boy of prophecy, and trains him to be a fighter. As Mansur (Kuno Becker, GOAL!) becomes a man, he reveals himself to be a mighty warrior, as does his best friend, Erali (Jay Hernandez, HOSTEL). The men prepare to battle the Mongols, who are led by the strength of Sharish (Mark Dacascos, IRON CHEF).

Though this war epic features an unusual subject in its focus on the history of Kazakhstan, it follows in the footsteps of Hollywood war films such as BRAVEHEART. Unlike most recent battle-driven movies, NOMAD: THE WARRIOR doesn't rely on computer-generated effects to create its vast armies. Instead, it focuses on the talents of real people, including Dacascos, who has displayed his martial-arts prowess in films like DOUBLE DRAGON and BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF. Each of the actors displays deft sword fighting skills--an essential in a film fueled by action. Italian composer Carlo Siliotto (THE PUNISHER) garnered a Golden Globe nomination for his powerful score.

Picture fits seamlessly together although it is somewhat generic in flavor, with an off-the-shelf narrative arch and characterizations drawn using broad brushstrokes. Full Review

It took the combined directorial talents of Ivan Passer and Sergei Bodrov to complete this historical epic about the 18th-century attempt to unify the contentious Kazakh tribes into what would become Kazakhstan (no Borat jokes, please), but the... Full Review

Nice Picture, terrible script + acting.

Whoever wrote the script deserves a "Way To Go!" sticker for trying. Do yourself a favor and watch it without the audio. Read and rate it

I wanted so much for this movie to be good; I study Central Asia. Unfortunately, it's worthless. The story is excruciatingly slow and the Hollywood actors make Keanu Reeves look animated. Jay Hernandez is especially bad. They aren't helped by an... Read and rate it
