My score 2.5/5

Have you seeing the ‘Crouching Tiger the Hidden Dragon’ type cable work before? And did you like it? Or are you a fan of movies like Jet Li’s “Hero” and ‘House of Flying Draggers’?

Then ‘The worriers way’ is the movie for you. It has cutting edge digital cinematography combined with assassins who moves at lightning speed yielding ultra-sharp shiny swards which can divide an hair in to two. This movie is simply magnificent cable work and computer graphics with a plot that binds the western and eastern together and punch you in the face and kick you in the gut.

Yang is a skilled worrier assassin who ultimately is the best swordsman on the planet. After killing his enemy clan for ages he finally approach to finishing them for good. But he find it to be difficult to assassinate a baby who is the final living thing of the enemy clan, thus decides to elope with her leaving his clan knowing he will face great danger. Travelling from far and far with the baby, and protecting infant and himself from the attacks from his own clan he reaches a lonely circus town in the middle of a western desert. There he finds life with new friends while working hard but does not remain at peace for long when the towns original troubles decide to kick in. Yang find himself yet again in the killing business but not to revenge but to protect the innocent.

‘The worriers way’ is not exactly the type of movie which will keep you at the edge of your seat. It does have some action sequences and moments of thrill but for me it was not really surprising. At some sequences I felt them to be too good to be true. Like I mentioned before the whole movie has a decent mood to it. Mostly created by CG environment and applied color schemes. The whole movie is not natural. It looks like a remake of a graphic novel and has its own art to it.

If sward and martial art action is your type then you might really watch it from start to end. Believe me the opening scene is breath taking. Which will give you a good hint of what to expect throughout.
