I bought Warrior Class at Blockbuster with very high expectations because I'm a big fan of Erica Leerhsen (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and after seeing it for the first time yesterday, I must say that not only this movie didn't disappoint me, but that it's probably one of the best thrillers I have ever seen!!
The plot focuses around Alec (Anson Mount), a lawyer who has just been assigned the case of his career- exposing a billion-dollar oil scam led by a ruthless mafia boss Phil Anwat (Jake Weber). But when he falls in love with Anwat's drug-addicted wife Annie (Erica Leerhsen), who is also his key witness, Alec realises that he has to take the battle for justice in his own hands.
No doubt the best thing about the movie is the amazing Erica Leerhsen, who's portrayal is one of the best acting jobs I've ever seen. Jake Weber is great also, and Mount is pretty good (much better than in Britney Spears' Crossroads), even though I expected more from him. Alan Hruska, a former lawyer, has nicely put the movie together, and the script is very interesting, even though the ending could have been better.
Either way, even though it did have some bad points, Hruska's Warrior Class is a very fresh and well-put together thriller which will give you a very entertaining 90 minutes! Definitely recommended!
