      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Based on a best-selling memoir, Peaceful Warrior loses something in the transition from page to screen. It hits the viewer over the head with philosophical jargon, and ultimately fails to live up to its source material.

      Peter G If you've ever had hopes, dreams, and work ethic to become a pro at ANYTHING yet somehow had a moment where you've felt you lost it, this movie is for you. It may be hard for some to understand but I think this is a universal tale. I'm waiting for the day my kids are old enough to truly understand this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/20/23 Full Review La G This movie calms my mind. And it honestly changed my life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/23 Full Review Carlos T Minha opinião: Desde a 1ª vez que assiti gostei muito deste filme, pois ela tem uma mensagem forte ao ser humano. Que é feita por Socrates (Nick Nolte) e bem interpretado por ele. Onde ele pega o jovem Dan que é universitário como seu pupilo. E como universitário ele vive esta vida de orgia, bebedeira e sem responsabilidade e rebeldia. Será que Socrates terá sabedoria para domar este jovem. Ele Dan é um ginasta que busca uma vaga na seleção americana na ginástica de argola. Mas sua vida de rebeldia tem atrapalhado a sua alta performance. E onde aparece Socrates como mecânico e frentista de um posto. E inicia o relacionamento dos 2. 1 Rebelde o outro rígido em sua diciplina. O garoto vai se envolvendo mas no meio do percurso se revolta e que voltar novamente a oque era. Porém seu proposito disperta intensamente e ele retorna. Será que alcançará seu objetivo junto a ser escalado pela equipe olipica? Um filme bem construído e interpretado pelos 2. Com seus drama e superações. O mais lindo é a mensagem que o filme passa. Super recomendo. Roteiro e enredo bons. Vale apena assistir? Com certeza. Nota: 8,5 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/28/23 Full Review Grob R Sad to see so many people not understanding the message. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review H B There are people who watch movies to be entertained and there are people who want to be inspired. This movie inspires and I like to be inspired rather than to be entertained. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/07/23 Full Review Chris R An amazing interpretation of the book. Many feel messages that are all congruent. If you have a lost open-minded person in your life… steer them here. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/02/22 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

Mar 30, 2007 Full Review Hap Erstein Atlanta Journal-Constitution Maybe there are worthy films buried in collections of spiritual homilies, but Peaceful Warrior is not one of them. Rated: C- Aug 6, 2006 Full Review Charles Cassady Common Sense Media Like Karate Kid -- without the karate. Rated: 3/5 Dec 15, 2010 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...surprisingly inventive... Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 31, 2008 Full Review Urban Cinefile Critics Urban Cinefile The film's tone is indeed mystically propelled, but while these elements seem far fetched, the sheer depth of commitment by the cast make us overlook that.
