Summary: RIP Steve Reeves
Review: With the death of Reeves on May 1, 2000, it seems a lot of people are turning nostalgically to the tidy cache of films this singular star left behind. A departure from the standard 60s peplum films with glistening, loincloth-clad muscles bulging all over the place, "Warrior" is not bad at all. Reeves plays Hadji Murad, a rebel Russian leader who gets into all kinds of trouble to remain true to his ideals of liberty and justice. The film makers had to do some pretty fancy footwork to come up with plot points to rid him of his traditional folk garb so you could see his real talent: his body. But overall, the usually cheesy sets and production values are unusually high and you really DO wonder how our muscleboy is going to get out of the jams he sems incapable of avoiding. If you're a Reeves fan and haven't seen this one yet, or if you're merely interested in a non-traditional view of Russian life in the mid 19th century, check out "The White Warrior".
