I read that the plot of War Path started as an entry in a music video. It should have ended there. I can't decide if the script or the acting was worse. A free-lance hitman wants revenge after his employer threatens, then kidnaps his wife. At least I think that was the plot.

Obviously, the budget was extremely low as basic cinematography standards were ignored. Things like lighting, consistent audio or even using a decent cinema camera was evidently too much for the crew. So many of the scenes were definitely not color graded. I didn't know if that was supposed to be the director's "technique," or they just forgot to white-balance the camera. You can always tell a low budget movie as they just love, love, love unnecessary close-ups. And so many shaky handheld shots.

I've watched enough "hidden gems" in the indie film genre to know that this isn't one of them.

Quite possibly one of the worst films ever. The acting was worse than a high school play, the sound engineering was amateurish at best, unintelligible at worst. Lead actress was very beautiful, but looks aren't everything. The story languishes around crooked cop story and treacherous friends but 10 minutes in you really don't even care about that part, and just hope everybody dies in the next scene so you can move on. This has to have been a passion project for someone's well connected child. I fast forwarded through most of the movie just to see if everybody would die in the end, don't waste your time. Actual rating is a minus 10 stars! Only reason I'm writing a review is to warn others that they don't waste the 15-20 minutes that I did.

For a movie from a guy you've never heard of, starring people you've never seen, War Path is a definite crowd pleaser. Great writing mixed with fantastic and memorable performances from the entire cast in this indie film remind us that sometimes lens flares aren't necessary to make a good action movie. If you like stories that throw you in with the wolves, be prepared to embrace the hitman's underworld in this gritty battle between responsibilities and matters of the heart.

I really enjoyed this revenge action film. It had all the deception and blood and humor to keep me guessing what's coming next. Lissa Keigwinn is great as Elena. Micheal Uimari is scary as hell playing a tough crime kingpin. Gary Nohealii carries the film as iron tough Joel Carrero. If you're into bloody action films, the quick pace and good performances by the cast will keep you guessing what comes next.

No one should miss this film. I agree with other reviewers here, it's an easy 10. Sets out to accomplish a valuable goal, and does so very convincingly, very gracefully.

Each character is very interesting and well acted. As in any significant narrative, the characters actually develop before your eyes, and change.

The setting, the landscape is very beautiful. Excellent music suiting the region. Nice, subtle touches of humor despite the grimness of what transpires.

Hope this one becomes more well-known, by word of mouth.

I'm not normally the type to watch indie films, especially with the varying quality that can come with it. However, I saw War Path on the advice of a friend and greatly enjoyed it!

Plot-wise, it won't change the world but it fits comfortably in the Hitman-gets-revenge genre and has a labyrinth story that mostly answers the questions it puts forth, even if it can get a bit convulated at times. The story goes in and out of time, so it keeps your interest and juts forward head first.

Acting-wise, the cast is pretty strong, anchored by Gary Nohealii as Joel, the lead. He's great in the role, holding my sympathy even when he's doing cruddy things and the rest of the cast fills their spots well.

The movie has a lot of fun action, moves briskly, and packs a lot into a brief runtime. Highly recommended!

Stylistic action film with some intense scenes, great characters, and a common storyline that was pulled off very well. Looking forward to more films by this director!

For those who did not watch Chinese action movies with lots of martial art and fun history, this is a superb movie! Excellent acting with fun elements and great costumes, epic music and all. Enjoy!!

I'm not used to chinese movies. I saw this and thought should give it a try. At first the plot seems basic, unaware of the rpg background of the movie. Even though it has a few plot wholes or inconsistencies, it is full of surprises. The CGI and the fighting scenes do make up for it.

This movie doesn't waste much time with overly complex story, dialogue or character building. It's an action movie with a fair share of Martial Arts.

The sci fic and special effect did impress me. Chinese movie can be up to holloywood level really didn't expect. I get used to bored by this revenge and historical theme, but this one did it differently.

Watched the film twice, cg and visual effects are fantastic. Two main lead actors do have harmony throughout the movie. You will certainly laugh and cry. Friendship bond will sometimes be equal to a family bond! Kudos to the whole team!

Great movie. Cinematography is wonderfully made. I love the film and it was worth to watch! Congrats to the whole team,job well done.

Don't believe the negative reviews I usually can always tell a movie will be predictable by the trailer but not this one. This movie kept me guessing up until the last second.

These kind of movie tell to anybody humanity and forgiveness has no limit.i never forget this fantastic movie. Can't say that performances of actors were stunning or that script was amazing.

Many are cynical and preoccupied with self-absorbing knowledge of the thinker, leaving mediocre reviews or at best mediocre descriptions. A very good movie with good setting and action. The whole family is having a great time together. It was the best movie ever!

The action is so flashy and the film is full of suspense!

It's a movie I want to see again, and I don't think there's a movie like this anywhere else!

I think this director's directing skills are really great!

The acting and visual effects are really good. I wish there were more movies like that. I like this movie. The view is very beautiful. The CG was so shocking and the acting of the actors was so good, it could definitely make a good movie! Suggestion!

Great movie and great cast. Good old fashioned kills everything and saves the world. I really liked the movie. As an avid sci-fi fan, the story was predictable at times, but it was entertaining and engaging from start to finish. I'll have to see this again! . Overall, it was a solid performance by all the cast members. It was great and great.

It's the first time in my life that I've seen such a fun movie. It's the most anticipated movie in 2019, and the director, actors, and screenplay are all the best.
