Editorial Review:
Ivan Passer (Cutter's Way) co-directed Nomad: The Warrior, a handsome, sprawling story set in the early 18th century about a real-life descendant of Genghis Khan who is destined to unite Kazakhs tribes against invaders. Mansur (Kuno Becker), the son of a sultan, is foreseen by an oracle-- (Jason Scott Lee), as the leader Kazakhs people have desperately needed to unite disparate peoples against the relentless, conquering Jungars. Trained by Oraz to be both a great warrior and leader, Mansur becomes known as Ablai Khan, a redeemer with seemingly preternatural skills in battle and a destiny to forge what will eventually become Kazakhstan. At the heart of the film is Mansur's lifelong friendship with another young fighter (Jay Hernandez), a young man so loyal he will not speak to Gauhar (Ayana Yesmagambetova) of his love for her, knowing Mansur loves her, too. (Mansur says nothing to her about his feelings, either, out of respect for his friend.) Nomad's widescreen action is full of impressive horsemanship, swordplay, and terrific stunts. But it's the film's obvious sense of pride in its historically-based story about the creation of a united people that ultimately proves moving. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - A movie worth watching
Nomad: The Warrior brings to the screen the story of a young Kazakh who grows up to become the hero that will rid Kazakh lands of enemies and unite the scattered tribes.
I will agree with the previous reviewer in that the Jungars had more of a legitimate claim to Genghis Khan's legacy while the Kazakhs were the ones that sought Russia's protection as opposed to the other way around. Hence the movie is historically inaccurate as it follows a Kazakh nationalist agenda which includes the slightest ... Read More
Rating:  - Ridiculous premise
While this movie has some good fight scenes and the cinematography is quite good, the basic premise of the movie is ridiculously flawed.
From the very beginning, Jason Scott Lee's narrative talks about the Kazakh's people having ancestors like Genghis Khan, and having to fight off invaders such as the Jungars. The Kazakhs are only partly descended from the Mongols, as they were primarily a Turkic people whose cities were DESTROYED by Genghis Khan and his Mongol army. Jungars were more direct ... Read More
Rating:  - Beautiful, simple
A beautiful film with a straight forward and sufficient plot. There was even something endearingly sweet and charming about it despite all the fighting.
Thanks for a hero who is strong and is just a nice guy with inner strength and warrior skills and does not have to rub our face in it with bluster and swagger! These visual cliches could have worked too, but it has been done countless times by John Wayne, Bruce Willis, etc. Becker was a refreshing alternative that worked for me given the script. ...

Rating: - Suprisingly good.
Not expecting too much from this little movie I was delighted & suprised with how good it was. You don't need to know where Kazakhstan is or who Ghengis Kahn was to enjoy this film. One group of people wants to take over another and the fight is on--the languange & location really don't matter once you get that. The scenery is unbelievable; the charcters honorable and heroic; the violence mild by the standards of any American slasher movie; and the love story touching and "G" rated. It's also refreshing ...

Rating: - Historical spectacle of Kazakh nation unification
I am fan of Sergei Bodrov's (director) movies. Although this direction was a shared effort on his behalf, I expected no less and I am glad to say that I was not disappointed. It is a movie about nation of Kazakhs who live in tundra region between mighty mountains and mighty nations of China and Russia. They are conquered by Mongols, Jungars and other nations until there is a prophecy that a new warrior, descendant of Ginghis Khan will bring them freedom and unity. It is a spectacular movie with great fighting ... Read More
