Warrior still knows how to pack a punch.
“Warrior” is many wonderful things, including a showcase of Asian-American talent on both sides of the camera and a history lesson about institutionalized hate crimes in America. But what makes the entire package work is its emphasis on pulp.
Even with a few too many subplots, a dynamite ending strips all this away to make the journey a striking one. At the same time as Warrior Season 3 keeps you entertained, there are plenty of moments where it takes a pause to reflect on all the tumult and the toll it has taken on the characters.
Warrior, whose fans once mobilized a petition for its third season return, rewards them with tightly-choreographed action sequences that don’t skimp on the bloodshed and visceral death blows. But it also offers political and interpersonal dramas set in an interesting historical time period, and writing that crackles with the energy of a contemporary action movie.
Most of the series remains so impressive and purely entertaining. The production values on the series’ recreated Chinatown look great. The performances by Koji, Doan, Tobin, Lee, and others are strong. And the story feels propulsive even when people aren’t pulling out hatchets, daggers, and chains. (But it’s especially fast and thrilling when that happens.)
"Warrior," to put it simply, kicks ass. If you've been sleeping on this series, get on board with the knowledge that the show only gets better in its third season.
