January 13, 2009This is what I take away from this film.....The whole movie, title and all...points to the fact that we look back at Warriors as the "brutes", the violent one's...and we are so civilized now....but the wifes PRIDE and HONOR show us that the Warrior code meant family, trust, honor, etc etc...while it was modern fallen man (as portrayed by Jake the husband) living for pleasure and solving problems with violence that really bears the dishonor, futility and shame.
One of my top 5 faves of all time. The acting, plot, and character development are second to none. -
October 20, 2008This was a very powerful film with a lot of brutality, not just in the movie but with your emotions too.
Because I am part Maori, I can understand what life must be like for the Heke family.
This movie also shows how good the acting is with all involved and especially with Temuera Morrison. He has shown, in this film, how and why he could cut it in main stream Hollywood films (such as Speed 2: Cruise Control and many Star Wars films). Temuera's performance is not to overshadow the performances of the rest of the cast.
This is a real emotional packed film which I recommend people to see and to show what excessive alcohol, unemployment and poverty can lead to.
I give it 9.5 out of 10. -

November 7, 2006Who on earth listed 'Cop and a Half' and 'Shanghai Nights' in the 'more like this' section? How on earth could you compare those pieces of drivel to this masterful movie? Idiots.
