    Legend of a warrior review

    I think most young men with an absent Father will really relate to the story, and Corey's heart felt attempt to get to know if not reconcile with his Father. The production is slick, the tone thoughtful, the animation inspired. But at certain points you can tangibly feel the lack of engagement from Frank the absentee Father, which leaves you cringing as Corey seems to run into Brick wall after brick wall. It also is a hard watch at times as Frank tends to lap up the adulation and attention of his "public" and students, he seems well past his prime physically and seems almost to be in competition with his fitter younger son. There are some great moments, where the vulnerability of the father son relationship is explored, but it fails to reach the heights it could off and has the feel of a Son still trying to win the attention of his, at times, totally dis-interested Father. A more balanced approach would certainly have strengthened the story perhaps an exploration of the wife and daughter he also left behind that was only referred to in passing it seems, or an interview with the much vaunted "replacement son" Tommy. A good movie that could have been a great movie.
