The film is well done, albeit not exceptional. The story, however, is worth seeing over an exceptional movie with no message. I read detractors reviews who say the message is too simple. If that is the case, then I might take back my claim the film was not exceptional. Peaceful Warrior captures Dan Millman's brilliance by presenting the message of enlightenment with subtlety and simplicity - leaving the audience (detractors included) to ask "Can it really be that simple?". And the answer, of course, is YES.

The opening scene will shock you - then you will be taken on a journey through one person's epiphany that is just as average as it is surreal. I know Dan personally, and this is his life. As a young gymnast Dan was headstrong, driven, and a risk taker with no quit - just as he is now.
