This British film about a warrior that chucks it all for a life of peace was nominated and won many awards. IExcept for some outstanding cinematography, I don't see it.
At first, I thought it might be an "Unforgiven" as the warrior that gives it up comes back for a final job. But the truth is that the warrior (Irfan Khan) never really gave it up at all. At the first opportunity, he takes retribution on the warrior that is chasing him. This was not some noble act, but clear revenge. And that ending! What was that all about? "She said you would come." So what? Maybe you just had to speak Hindi to understand, but that would't help much as Khan doesn't say 100 words through the entire film.
