The Warrior

India   Irrfan Khan

Minimalist story of a mercenary who tries to quit...but the price is higher than he reckoned. Khan is mostly mute with a fixed expression throughout. Still his presence is compelling and we are easily drawn into his trials.

Filmed in a near-desert landscape...but for the final scenes set in the foothills of the Himalayas.  Nice lean filmmaking far from the horror of Bollywood.
